Possible bug — I apparently have 11 special trades available for the day.
I have a paid ticket and I have completed seven special trades, each with different non-ticketed trainers.
During the first trade, the counter showed 6 trades available.
The second, third, and fourth (or fourth and fifth; can't remember exactly) trades showed 5 trades available.
The fifth, sixth, and seventh (or sixth and seventh) trades showed 4 trades available.
The counter now still shows 4 special trades available when I attempt to trade with another trainer (non-ticketed) who still has the one available special trade for the day.
Unfortunately, it's almost 11pm here and I don't have access to more trainer accounts with available special trades. I'm also not willing to use up the lucky trade at the moment (which would be special trade #8). Ergo, I can't test any further.
Attempting to trade again with any one of the non-ticketed trainers shows my available trades as 4, but will not let me select anything that would require a special trade.
My mum's account; also with a paid ticket, does not have the same issue — those six special trades available were used up earlier, after 6pm, and opening a trade with her results in her screen showing 0 special trades available and mine still showing 4 special trades available, with the corresponding Pokemon greyed out.
The screenshots uploaded show the 7 trades I've done today, and all were clearly special trades, which puts me at one over the supposed limit. There is some error confirmation message when I exit a trade, but it doesn't seem to mean anything.
