Is the Paid Eggspedition Access Ticket Worth It?
Daily PokéStop spins yield 28 extra incubators (December 3rd onwards), valued at approximately $4.20 USD. This nearly matches the ticket price, excluding other bonuses.
The ticket is worthwhile for players prioritizing egg hatching, particularly those seeking specific December Pokémon or regular incubator purchasers. The additional gifts and XP are added benefits.
However, if egg hatching isn't a priority or weather conditions limit gameplay, the ticket's value diminishes unless gift sending/receiving is a key aspect of your gameplay.
Pokémon GO is available on mobile devices.
