Is the Eggs-pedition Access Ticket Worth It?

Daily PokéStop spins yield 28 incubators, valued at approximately $4.20 USD (4200 PokéCoins). This almost matches the ticket price, excluding other bonuses.

The ticket is beneficial for players who frequently hatch eggs and desire specific Pokémon, especially if they regularly purchase incubators. The additional gifts and XP are added value.

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.
