From now on, Pokemon GO players can gift their friends event tickets. How to do it?

Pokemon Go

Pokemon GO devs introduce a new feature related to event tickets.

There have long been events in the game that have two versions – one that is free and available to everyone, and the second one, which gives you access to additional quests with rewards. You must purchase an event ticket to complete Premium Quests. This one can be found in the store next to other items.

Ticket prices vary – from a few bucks to several dozen, if it is an event in the style of Pokemon GO Fest. From now on, players can give themselves such a ticket as a gift, while making a pleasant surprise for the other person.

A new feature in Pokemon GO

The official website of Pokemon GO informed that from now on players can send themselves event tickets as a gift. Until now, each trainer had to buy them on their own if they wanted to have access to additional tasks for various events.

Trainers, one of the best ways to explore the world around you is with your friends and family. So, starting with May Community Day’s Special Research, Trainers will be able to purchase and gift tickets to any of their Pokémon GO friends that they have achieved a Friendship level of Great Friends or higher with.

More tickets—including tickets to the global Pokémon GO Fest event—will be available for gifting soon.
