At the end of the day, if you plan to play a lot of Pokemon GO during the month of October, I would say the Ticket of Treats is probably worth it. For only $5 USD, you get access to a ton of exclusive content and can rack up all sorts of useful items.
On top of that, the bonus encounters with Pumpkaboo and Misdreavus make the Ticket of Treats Timed Research the perfect opportunity to try and catch Shiny variants of these supernatural Pokemon.
If you're a regular Pokemon GO player and have $5 lying around, you probably won't regret using it on a Ticket of Treats. The Ticket of Treats will keep you busy throughout October and prepare you for the rest of the Pokemon GO Halloween festivities!
