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 benefits.
The ticket offers excellent value for players prioritizing egg hatching, especially those already purchasing incubators. The additional gifts and XP are substantial bonuses.
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 primary focus.
Pokémon GO is available on mobile devices.
