UPDATE:<\/strong> Niantic has confirmed that the Premier Access add-on is an exclusive for Pok\u00e9mon Go Fest New Jersey this year, though suggested it is looking to introduce it at other events in future.<\/p>\n

“The demand we saw blew past our expectations and we sold out of the add-on in three days,” a Niantic spokesperson said in a statement to IGN. “To ensure that everyone who purchased the Premier Access add-on has a good experience, we capped the number we sold to ensure we could accommodate Trainers at the Premier Access lounge. <\/p>\n

“Based on the popularity of this offer, we are exploring similar offers at future events. We look forward to hosting all Trainers at Liberty State Park in June and hearing feedback from Trainers about their experience.”<\/p>\n

ORIGINAL STORY:<\/strong> Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/a> has unveiled a new $100 Premier Access ticket upgrade for its upcoming Go Fest: Jersey City event that unlocks in-game items and access to real-world improved facilities \u2014 including “upgraded restrooms.” <\/p>\n

Go Fest is the game’s annual big summer event that this year will take place at Liberty State Park in Jersey City, as well as in Paris, France and Osaka, Japan.<\/p>\n

Players visiting the Jersey City version now have the ability to upgrade their existing ticket further with the $100 Premier Access add-on, developer Niantic has announced, which offers a range of benefits. <\/p>\n

Akin to some kind of Business Class option for the event, those who pay up will get to enjoy a Premier Access lounge. <\/p>\n

Niantic said this area will boast “upgraded restrooms, portable charger kiosks with lockers, and seating to recharge yourself for your next adventure.” Sadly, there’s no further detail on how these restrooms have been upgraded, versus the facilities available to rank-and-file visitors.<\/p>\n

You’ll also get fast-track entry to the event’s Pok\u00e9mon Center Pop-Up Store, meaning you will skip the line should you want to hand over more money and pick up some Pok\u00e9mon merchandise.<\/p>\n

Why is this useful? Well, Go Fest’s merch store is always busy, and queuing eats into your limited window of playtime if you’re stuck there, unable to walk about and actually catch the Pok\u00e9mon you’ve paid to access.<\/p>\n

The Premier Access upgrade’s main attraction, however, will likely be the treasure trove of in-game items it also provides, including 100 Premium Battle Passes, 100 Super Incubators, 20 Max Particle Packs and much more. In short, you could easily spend $300 on all the in-game items here.<\/p>\n
