Is the Eggs-pedition Access Ticket Worth It?
Daily PokéStop spins yield 28 incubators (4200 PokéCoins, ~$4.20 USD equivalent), nearly matching the ticket price. Considering additional XP, gifts, and the potential for desired Pokémon, the ticket offers good value, especially for frequent incubator buyers. However, if egg hatching isn't a priority, or if weather conditions limit gameplay, the benefits might not justify the cost unless gift sending/receiving is a key focus.
