Is the Eggs-pedition Access Ticket Worth It?
Daily PokéStop spins yield 28 extra incubators, valued at approximately $4.20 USD. This alone nearly matches the ticket price, excluding other bonuses.
The ticket is a strong value proposition for players who frequently hatch eggs or desire specific Pokémon from the listed pool, especially if they already purchase incubators regularly. The extra gifts and XP are added perks.
However, if egg hatching isn't a priority or if weather conditions limit gameplay, the ticket's value diminishes unless gift-sending/receiving is a significant aspect of your gameplay.
