Is the Paid Eggspedition Access Ticket Worth It?

Daily PokéStop spins yield 28 extra incubators (a 4200 PokéCoin value, approximately $4.20 USD). This nearly matches the ticket price, considering only the incubator benefit. Additional XP and gift bonuses add further value.

The ticket is recommended for players who frequently hatch eggs and/or regularly purchase incubators. If you're less interested in egg hatching or face weather limitations, the extra benefits might not justify the cost unless gift sending/receiving is a priority.
