Tickets for the offline events cost around $30 USD or your regional equivalent with an early bird discount being available until April 9, 2024. You can head to the official Go Fest 2024 website to purchase them. Access to the digital event will come a little cheaper, if the pattern established in previous years is being followed – in that case, you can expect Go Fest 2024 Global to feature a $15 USD ticket, perhaps in addition to several optional tickets that bring various bonuses focused on areas like hatching Eggs and Raids.

Go Fest 2024 in Madrid will take place at the Parque Juan Carlos I. and across the historic city, bringing the flagship event to the Spanish capital for the first time.

Marta Rivera De la Cruz, Madrid’s Councillor Delegate for Culture, Tourism and Sport, made the following comment on this announcement: “Madrid is a city known for its history, culture and vitality, but it is also a city that looks to the future, embracing innovation and new technologies. That is why we are especially excited to host such an emblematic and modern event as Pokémon Go Fest, which brings together people of all ages and from all corners of the world through the magic of technology and gaming.”

“Madrid is a walkable and global tourist destination with rich culture and iconic landmarks. This makes it the perfect setting for Pokémon GO Fest. We’re thrilled to be bringing the event to the city this summer and look forward to exploring and playing alongside Spain’s passionate Pokémon GO community and thousands of international visitors,” said Philip Marz, Niantic’s Director of Regional Marketing EMEA.
