Pokémon Go Unveils $100 Ticket for Enhanced Toilet Access

Pokémon Go has introduced a new $100 Premier Access ticket upgrade for the upcoming Go Fest: Jersey City event, enhancing the experience with both in-game benefits and improved real-world facilities, including "upgraded restrooms."

Go Fest, the game's annual summer extravaganza, is set to occur this year at Liberty State Park in Jersey City, as well as in Paris, France, and Osaka, Japan. For those attending the Jersey City event, Niantic has launched a $100 Premier Access add-on, offering an array of exclusive perks.

Think of it as a Business Class experience for the event. Premier Access ticket holders will enjoy a dedicated lounge with "upgraded restrooms, portable charger kiosks with lockers, and seating to recharge yourself for your next adventure." While the specifics of the upgraded restrooms remain undisclosed, this lounge promises a more comfortable and convenient experience compared to standard facilities.

Additionally, the Premier Access ticket grants fast-track entry to the event's Pokémon Center Pop-Up Store, allowing you to bypass long lines and spend more time exploring and catching Pokémon. This perk is particularly valuable as the store is typically busy, and waiting in line can significantly cut into your gameplay time.

The highlight of the Premier Access upgrade, however, is the extensive collection of in-game items it offers. This includes 100 Premium Battle Passes, 100 Super Incubators, 20 Max Particle Packs, and much more. The value of these items alone could easily exceed $300 if purchased separately.

Here's the complete list of in-game items included:

• 100 Poké Balls
• 100 Great Balls
• 100 Ultra Balls
• 50 Silver Pinap Berries
• 100 Super Incubators
• 10 Lucky Eggs
• 10 Incense
• 10 Star Pieces
• 10 Lure Modules
• 10 Glacial Lure Modules
• 10 Magnetic Lure Modules
• 10 Mossy Lure Modules
• 10 Rainy Lure Modules
• 100 Premium Battle Passes
• 20 Max Particle Packs
• 5 Max Mushrooms

Premier Access ticket holders will also receive an exclusive enamel pin badge.

The reaction to this premium ticket offer has been varied. Some players are concerned about the high cost, noting that Pokémon Go has never before offered such an expensive upgrade. Others see the value in the numerous in-game items provided, especially for those willing to invest further after already committing to travel and entry fees for Go Fest.

IGN has reached out to Niantic to inquire if this Premier Access offer will be available at other Go Fest locations.

Pokémon Go Fest 2025 is scheduled for the weekend of May 29 in Osaka, the weekend of June 6 in Jersey City, and the weekend of June 13 in Paris. This year's event will spotlight the release of the Legendary creature Volcanion and the wider availability of the Mexican regional exclusive, Hawlucha.
