All tickets will be sold on a first-come first serve basis. You will also be able to purchase a ticket for a friend at this time. You must be at least Great Friends with the trainer to purchase them a ticket.

If you would like to purchase a ticket for a friend, while purchasing your ticket there will be boxes available for you to fill out the usernames of your friends you wish to purchase tickets for. One name per box! You can only purchase tickets for one date and time per purchase, so you will all receive tickets for the same experience.

Tickets for companions, parents, and guardians

Parents, guardians, companions, and partners who will be visiting the park do not have to buy a ticket to Pokémon GO Fest 2023 to enter the park. Entrance to the park is free for anyone visiting, as usual.
