The Pokemon Go Fest events are back in 2022, and Sapporo, Japan is the first location! Nakajima Park and the city of Sapporo will host this special event from August 5, 2022, to August 7, 2022. This year’s event is too big to be contained within a single park, so some gameplay elements have been expanded citywide.
And this time, the fest will be complete with unique features, giveaways, and more. Enthusiastic players can join your fellow Trainers in celebrating this fest as the tickets for Pokemon GO Fest 2022 Sapporo is now live for sale. You can purchase tickets on the Pokémon GO Fest: Sapporo website.
Tickets are available for ¥3,000 ($23) (plus relevant taxes) and are sold on a first-come, first-served basis. Tickets are limited and will only be available until supplies run out. Moreover, just like in Berlin, Sapporo participants can only buy tickets for one day of the three-day Pokémon GO Fest.
Buy tickets for any one day of the Pokemon GO Fest 2022 Sapporo with varied options
Trainers who purchase a ticket will split their day between event experiences that happen in Nakajima Park and throughout the city of Sapporo itself. When purchasing your ticket, you will get to select which part of the day – Morning session and Afternoon session you’d like to experience in the park.
- A ticket for the morning session offers the event experience within Nakajima Park from 8:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and the city event experience from 2:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. local time.
- A ticket for the afternoon session offers the city event experience from 8:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and the park event experience from 2:30 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. local time.
Do remember that only Trainers with a valid ticket for the applicable session will be able to play within Nakajima Park. There will be a one-hour intermission between sessions to allow Trainers time to move between areas. During the citywide event experience, ticket-holding Trainers will experience event-exclusive gameplay in Sapporo. Event gameplay will not be available to ticket-holding Trainers outside Sapporo.
