Is the ‘Eggs-pedition Access: December’ ticket worth it?
If you love hatching eggs, yes, the ticket is worth it for the bonuses alone. If you spin a stop every day, you’ll get 31 single-use Incubators, which means you can hatch 31 eggs. 31 single-use Incubators equal about 10 regular Incubators, which is actually a good deal for $4.99. You will have to remember to spin a PokéStop every day to make the most of this deal, though.
For the research alone, the ticket is not worth it, as all it gives is a smattering of Stardust, XP, and a single Gible.
