Your Paint Price?

[hubadlatimmy]

Country Club-$114 a case PMI

Badlandz-$55 for marbs or bring your own, it's $65 if it's not team practice which I never even go to.

Friendly Fire-$110 PMI

Fox River Games-$110 PMI

Challenge Park-$80 Brass Eagle

Paintball Blitz- $110 for open play, $40 for teams. But free for me because I work there and other good stuff.

i hope the people that run those places realize their ruining the sport by making it too expensive for a lot of people to play.

[hubadlatimmy]

Think about it in this perspective.

Country Club- Indoors, carpet cleaning, insurance, building maintence, lighting, electricity.

Friendly Fire- Crappy Fields, High Prices, Owners a dick, Bad refs, I don't know where they get off.

FOx River Games- Crappy Fields, High Prices, Owners a dick, Bad refs, I don't know where they get off. Same as above

Challenge Park- That place costs a fricken tone to run and have refs and whatnot. It's a huge very expensive complex.

Paintball Blitz- It's 10 min away from the 2nd richest town in lake forest where most of the people come from. The homes and property value in this city would blow your mind. These people can dish out $110 a weekend like it's pocket change.

I think the guys posting all of the low prices are getting some sort of sponsorship. Fields stay in buisness because of paint sails. The field I started playing at in 96 it was $145(member price) dollars for a 2500 round case.

And I would like to get Hellfire for that $46 price.

ps Hubalbwhatever this isn't smacktalk try and watch the language.

Well at the field where I am from we pay the following

50 a case for anarachy (my personal fav) and proball
45 a case for big ball
55 for marbs and all stars

These are regular prices that everyone pays.


I haven't been able to check the fields around here yet.

Around here you pay 80-110 a case, but the green fee is about $10. i think that's the difference between fields offering low prices and high prices: the admission price. One field allows BYOP for a $5 fee. Since I can get dirt cheap paint, I try to play there most often.

consider:

fields were open and operating AND making a profit for over 9 years before FPO became known. FPO is merely a way to make more money. when you make a huge investment in capital (fields) like CPE, you dont automatically try to make all your money back in the first week by gouging on the prices, you sell the product for the same price you did before, and jsut hope that the capital will draw more customers. my field is 40 for seconds, and they make a HUGE profit. they also have a ton of refs, and 4 fields including air ball. two games are always running, and they also have shaded staging areas and an airconditioned check in. and you know what? theyve only had fpo for 6 months. theyve done just bout everything they have without fpo, and they still made a profit then. think about it, paintball gel encapsulating machines cost millions of dollars to make, but you dont see them charging a million dollars a case do you?

I pay 10 dollars a day to play or 15 with all day air fill. It cost 25 dollars if you don't have any equipment.

I just think some fields are cheaper to run then others. Cheaper to run doesn't mean bad quality. The place where I played at is an old state park that the owner bought and fixed up. So he got the land and all the buildings already there and for a cheap price. We have three speed ball fields (one 10 man, one 3 man, and one supair) we have I beleive either 4 or 5 rec ball fields. There is nothing fancy there but it is not bad either, just a good field with cheap prices.

Lubbock, Challenge Park: $80 Bigball
Fort Worth, FotR: $40 seconds - $80 premium paint (I usually get Midnight for $57)
Houston, Twisted Texas: BYOP = internet cheap paint.
(kickin for $30)

Troy - I wouldn't consider that smack talk. I would consider it being honest. Would you rather have him say that that there all great places with all great people that when you go there your never wrong? Think about....Hes being honest. Nothing wrong with that.

And no I don't get a sponsorship at my feild so all those prices are feild paint prices. Yes I consider myself very lucky.

[Derman2k]

The store i usually shop at is:
Marbs-60
El Tigres-70
Big ball-45
worr-40
PMI Prems-45

The closest store is:
Marbs/El Tigres-95
PMI Prems-60
And those are the only two they get...And they're not to good at fixing things either

[blnk162]

I get mad when i have to pay for paint and when i do its a booger to even pay 27(total with tax)

[Cypres0099]

$30 for a case of Worr. Being sponsored is good.:)
