Niantic has the following to say about the Ticket of Treats:

Starting October 2023, Trainers will be able to purchase the Ticket of Treats, which grants spook-tacular Timed Research opportunities throughout the month. With the Ticket of Treats, a new Timed Research will unlock each Thursday in October, and you will have until the end of the month to complete them all. Each Timed Research will give you an opportunity to earn premium items and event-themed encounters to prepare for in-game events! While each week's Timed Research is paired with a specific event, you're free to complete the Timed Research tasks and claim their rewards at any point until October 31, 2023, at 11:59 p.m. local time. Trainers may purchase the Ticket of Treats until October 29, 2023, at 11:59 p.m. local time, but purchasing it earlier will give you more opportunities to take advantage of the additional bonuses included in the Ticket of Treats! Treat yourself to an October of adventure. Let's GO!

Sunday, October 1, 2023, at 12:00 a.m. to Tuesday, October 31, 2023, at 11:59 p.m. local time. For US$5.00 (or the equivalent pricing tier in your local currency), you'll be able to access bonuses and a total of four ticket-exclusive Timed Research opportunities. Please note that Timed Research expires. The tasks associated with each Timed Research must be completed and their rewards must be claimed before Tuesday, October 31, 2023, at 11:59 p.m. local time. Trainers will be able to purchase and gift tickets to any of their Pokémon GO friends that they have achieved a Friendship level of Great Friends or higher with. Please note that purchases—including those made for other Trainers—are non-refundable (subject to applicable law and the exceptions set forth in the Terms of Service). Tickets cannot be purchased with PokéCoins. The Ticket of Treats will only be available in the in-game shop until October 29, 2023, at 11:59 p.m. local time.
