As one might have noticed, there is quite a bit of difference between the rewards of the ticket event and the free one. The free one gives XP for the first few tasks, but the paid one has a slight edge with its Stardust, XL Candy, Rare Candy, and Star Piece rewards. Overall, the rewards are fairly decent, especially if taken into account the fact that the ticket costs a mere $1.

Is It Worth Buying The Pokemon GO Battle Weekend Ticket?

Just like a number of other event tickets in the game, the answer is mostly down to personal preference. The good news here is that the ticket costs significantly less than some of the other tickets seen recently. Considering the fact that that didn't go down well in the community, this would definitely be a welcoming change by many.

The most crucial thing to consider is that the tasks are much lengthier than the free ones, so players might actually take much longer to complete them. With that in mind, it is probably not a good idea to get a ticket if you are not planning on playing the game much during the event, as that is probably one of the biggest deal-breakers.
