Is the Ticket Worth It?
With daily PokéStop spins, you'll receive approximately 28 incubators, valued at roughly $4.20 USD. This almost matches the ticket price, excluding other bonuses. If you regularly purchase incubators or are aiming for specific Pokémon from these eggs, the ticket offers excellent value. The additional gifts and XP are added benefits. However, if you don't prioritize egg hatching or gift-giving, the ticket's appeal diminishes.
