Is the Ticket Worth It?
Daily PokéStop spins yield 28 incubators, valued at approximately $4.20 USD. This almost matches the ticket price, excluding other bonuses. If you frequently purchase incubators or desire specific Pokémon from these eggs, the ticket offers good value. The extra gifts and XP are added perks. However, if you don't prioritize egg hatching or gift exchanges, the ticket's value diminishes unless you strongly desire the additional XP and Stardust.
Pokémon GO is available on mobile devices.
