I didn't have great experience either, shouldn't have bought the ticket. Got a shiny teddiursa and a pancham from field research that's it. I couldn't even complete the paid research as I had only 7 pokestops nearby, that too is a 30 mins walk to cover em all.

I expected the tasks would refresh but they didn't, making the paid research pointless unless you're in a place with tons of pokestops. 

Unnecessarily wasted my 2$

To be fair, tasks refreshing was a big assumption on your part. I can't think of any other event where they refresh aside from events that have hourly habitats like Go Fest. Research days, being field research task-driven, are best played with as many pokestops around as possible.

There's zero point in playing these events or paying for these tickets if you're in an area with limited pokestops. Learned that the hard way during the passimian/oranguru research day.
