Is it Worth It?
Daily PokéStop spins yield approximately 28 extra incubators, valued at roughly $4.20 USD. This nearly matches the ticket price, excluding other bonuses. The ticket offers excellent value if you regularly purchase incubators or actively seek the featured Pokémon. However, if you don't prioritize egg hatching or the additional gifts and XP, the ticket might not justify the cost. Consider your play style and priorities before purchasing.
