I just got the one of the Launch specials because I have google opinions & every time i do one of their surveys i get random amounts of change (ranging from 2 cents to cents usually) So i juts have google play saved up from that! haha
I was not going to, but I got an app store gift card as a present that I don‘t know what else to do with (I never, ever buy apps or music - and honestly don‘t know anyone who does), so I figured I might as well make Tom Nook happy, haha.
I would never spend my own money on this (or any other app), though.

I see no need for it.
Unlike many games, the sprint from one level to the next is always the same length, I think ten points between each? Whereas many games need more and more to level up each time, PC doesn't do this and gives you 10 leaf tickets every time you do level up. I think I managed to go up by seven whole levels two days ago from building amenities, so that was 70 leaf tickets from that. Plus there are stretch goals that can offer you some. So I wouldn't buy them unless they changed the way of getting them for free since it currently is easy enough to have the game be completely free-to-play.
I currently am level 20, have all the crafting slots unlocked, bought a couple of throw nets, and still have 200 tickets to spare.

I bought the launch special as well. I spent tickets on both K.K. and the Flower Power paint job for my RV. I'm a wreck, send help. Only way I'll probably spend money is for future special guests. I have so many I'd like, ugh. With Celeste and Leif being at the top of my list. I wish we could have more than one special guest visit at a time?? It's not like theyactually move around. Maybe they'll change it in the future.

I only spent leaf tickets on crafting twice, once when I was impatient and wanted to unlock my cutie tent before roll-over, (4 tickets cause it was almost done.) and on doing something with insufficient materials to get MORE leaf tickets since it was a stretch goal. XD I spent like 4 tickets on that and got 10, so really I earned tickets from spending them. Saving mine to max out my space as well, only bought like 10 additional spaces so far, but since I'm not really utilizing them and rarely running out of space I'm saving it for later.
I agree that the game doesn't require you to buy any, sure it will help you get them faster, but it's mostly just for impatient people. I'm more than willing to wait.
Nope, and I don't plan on it either. As others have said it's pretty easy to get leaf tickets and save them up without wasting them on materials and craft times. I've already expanded my craft spots, bought DJ KK's chair, and have plenty left to spare. No need to spend money on it when there's plenty of Leaf tickets in those goals 
I bought all the available packages, and will probably save my purchases for when packages become available (assuming more are coming for the holidays, etc.) However, I do see myself buying a-la-cart Leaf Tickets here and there as well. I knew that this would be an in-app purchase type game, but I have to say, it doesn't corner you to spend real money to advance like other games I've played do.
I look at it this way, I spend about $10 per day on Coffee, so a few dollars here and there on a game that I enjoy and that relaxes me is well worth it. Entertainment is entertainment, whether it's Netflix, Pandora, purchased iTunes music and even a drink and/or appetizers at a bar, we always pay for small things that are enjoyable, so I don't see in-app purchases as anything different.

I usually take these surveys with this app powered by google and it gives me money for doing so, so yes lmao. I don't really mind spending that money since it was earned by such little effort ha (?∀`)
I haven't spent a cent on it, and I honestly don't need to. I got the K.K. Slider chair on launch day without trouble as well.
I feel kind of guilty about not spending any money; I want to support Nintendo for releasing the game, but I feel that the game is completely fun without even thinking about buying more tickets. Perhaps I'll be tempted after the stretch challenges are completed/I don't get tickets for free anymore.

Nope. I don't give money to freemium games until I've played them for at least a month + and can see me enjoying it for the foreseeable future even after I'm past the newbie dump of cash currency which they use to entice you to keep spending. Turns out there are very few games that ever manage to fall into that category.
That being said my verdict is still out on this one.
