Air Fill Prices

[RusskiX]

What's up with the price of compressed air fills at local fields?

I've got one field that charges $6.50 for 4500 fill, another does $7.00 for 4500 and the third charges $6.00 for a 3000!?
Wasn't compressed air supposed to be sooo much cheaper than CO2, like pennies on the dollar. Looks like its time to invest is a scuba tank and DIY air fills. Of course, most fields won't "allow" personal fill stations...grrrr:rolleyes:

Sorry, for the rant, but how much is everyone else paying for air?

[Bulldog]

10 bux, all day air.

[PyRo]

Same as bulldog, $10 all day same price 4500 and 3000. Then again field paint is $100 a case plus $20 admission.

paintball is too expensive. I think i might quit and come back to the sport in a couple years, see how much the technology has changed, and hopefully how much cheaper it is.

[atcer]

at the out door feild i play at (they use scuba tanks you have to get filled in fargo...an hour away) its six bucks and they usualy cant fill more than 2500

the indoor place in MSP is 10 bucks walk-on and all day air.

I did that, now ive got a whole list of things I want because I didn't slowly upgrade. Don't try it, you will regret it :)

100 bucks for field paint!?!?!?! That's getting it in the butt with no lube there!

[Xyxyll]

hmm... sounds like my fields

Indoor place - $5.50 for 2300psi fill
Outdoor place - $3 for 1500psi fill
Store which closed over the summer - $4 for 4500psi fill (noooooooooooooooooooooooo)

I really need a scuba and air compressor now... my RT Pro is getting deprived of true fills!

[hostage]

42/case, 5bux admission, $1/1000psi and $5 for full fill or below 1000psi.

[NJPaint]

$10 all day air (they go right up to 4500
$15 admission
$56 / case of Premiums, $66 / case of Marbs
AND the field is BYOP, so most of the time I shoot white box.

The field is meant for 7 v 7, but sometimes it gets up to more than 20 players on a side. Lots of targets... Fill up the 4+3 :D

[Lohman446]

$10 admission includes field fee and all day air (always at at least 3K - if the compressors are turned on can get 45).

Paint from $45 (whatever is being used as economy) to $60 for marbalizer. BYOP for anything but field rental guns.

$20? (I think) rental includes gun, mask, air tank and 500 rounds

Downside - no refs, refs are a volunteer basis (however with half a dozen (roughly) tournament teams based at the field there are normally refs on teh field).

Two fully netted arenas - multiple woods fields up to like 30 acres large if needed - depending on where boundaries are stated. Covered staging area.

I thought my field was the most expensive. Damn where do you play?

[camilion705]

Camp Pendelton Paintball Park:

$12 admission (all day $6 for half)

$1 per 1000 psi on tanks at or under 68ci extra $1 for
over 68ci (they can only fill to 2200psi)

BYOP, but field paint (Blaze) is I think $65


I got two 3000psi 88 cubic feet scuba tanks at a garage sale for $10. Only catch is that they had to be hydroed for $35 each at the local scuba shop. Can only fill to around 2200- 2100psi and about 6-8 fills at that pressure.
I think to fill one of these things is like $3. So after awhile, the tanks will basically pay themselves off.

[Caffiend]

place i get my scuba filled at raised prices from $3 to $5 :( still it's not bad tho.

Let see, case of kick'n $65, field fees $10, all day air (up to 3k) $10.

other field, case of paint (can't remember what kind) $60, field fees $5. they don't have Compressed air there.

[GA Devil]

lol..20 to play with all day air and 45 a case of big ball for rec play.

[~WarpedRT#2~]

This is insane, there is no paint worth over $70. Nothing is worth anything over that. But there is this drunk guy who runs a field near me, he charges $6 per fill. I dont play there alot. If we go there and he's real drunk, we scam the hell out of him, and he doesnt know the difference. Think about it though, it's $6 per fill!!!

[CasingBill]

my local shop is $3.00 for my 68/4500. $10 for all day air at the field i play. sometimes they don't even charge me. depends on who is working. they just say air doesn't cost anything.
