Tickets for the upcoming Urban Explorer experience will become available closer to the event launch, with further details expected in the coming months.
The Urban Explorer ticket grants access to an exclusive, city-wide gaming experience valid on the date specified on the ticket. This access is limited to the city experience for one day and does not include access to the Park Experience, either in the morning or afternoon. Temporary access to the city experience will be granted on the first day of ticket validity and will remain available through the last day of the in-person event.
Ticket holders can enhance their experience with optional add-ons. The “Play Through the City” add-on provides additional days of gameplay, while the “Raid Lover” and “Hatch Lover” add-ons allow players to customize their participation. These two add-ons will be active throughout all days of the in-person event.
Potential players should note that purchasing an Urban Explorer ticket precludes the purchase of any ticket that includes access to the Park Experience. Tickets offering access to the Park Experience are limited and will be sold on a first-come, first-served basis, with no further tickets released once they are sold out.
