Holy Crap!!! $10/100, do they kiss ya first... I'm surprised they even have a field fee with paint prices like that.
They would be broke if they waited for me to come there...we should ban places that gouge the public like that.
That's Mainly why paintball gear is so much more in Canada than anywhere else. Edmonton used to be that way. Now Most places it's 5-7 cents a ball and 10.00 walk on which includes a hopper of balls.

HAHAHA What a joke!!!
how Busy is this place (not very I imagine or it's the only one in your area.)
If i was you guy's I'd find another place to go and tell him why your going elsewhere and see what he say's I don't give a $**** where I go but I refuse to pay more than 6.5 a ball and if they want our bussiness they will take it or we go elsewhere just think by this time next year I bet there will be twice as many Fields over Canada and then they will be begging us to come and pay 4 cents a ball. And that's when the Loyalty card is played. HAHAHAHA!!!!
There is a place here That has no membership Fees, no field fees, free air or Co2 And 0.05 cents a ball,This place is packed everyday. and the Owner say's he does very well. so if he can do it so can everyone else.
But we still have our jerk offs too. Last month I went to buy a tippmann 98 custom for my son and one shop in Edmonton sells it for 329.00 and 6 blocks down the street another guy sells his for 265.00 What's up with that????
And the kicker is I told the gouger the price of it up the street and he's Say's "why are you here then". HAHAHAHA I said I'm not And will never be again.
And since that day I bet my crew and I have givin the other store about 3,000.00 worth of business
Just my 2-bits worth.
Sorry for going on a rant but this is a major problem with our sport and we need to do something about these Ex used car salesman turned Proshop owners.

Yeah.. Something really has to be done...
My friends and played for a stag @ splatters in TO on Saturday morning...
Prices in there are crazy... Good thing I have my own marker and equipment... I only paid $5 to play and 10$/100...
I felt sorry for those renting.. $29.95 for 4 hours + $15/100 which was crazy.. Plus they were renting beat to
sh!t m98's and Model 83's?? Which were 99% plastic.. Guns were breaking like crazy.. Then were running with 9oz Co2's.. So half the time ppl would run outta gas in the middle of games...
There was quicksand in one corner of the field.. It was like running in a septic tank and you couldn't lean against *anything* without coming out looking like a acid flashback and covered in paint from god only knows how long ago in a multitude of colours...
I had a good day, not a single break for in my Bruiser Outlaw... It was pretty fair until 3 or 4 16 year olds showed up with an Impulse and a couple of Automag RT's....
My friend almost pistol whipped one of them... I swear he must have had the RT full auto because he got hit, called himself out immediately but then caught close to another 7 shots right up the chest..
I took 3 or 4 at one time right off the knuckles.. Not complaining though.. I was wearing 3/4 sleaves, no cup, no gloves.. so its my own problem.. But still it was a little much.. The highlight was getting them a couple of times and hearing them squeal like little pigs when they got shot up...
They all went in and bought a case of Zap Pro.. for like $260 or something the field was charging.. That is plain out and out highway robbery.. Plus they looked like fools.. 2 of them were wearing 4+ pod harnesses for 5-10 minute indoor games...
Oh well to each their own I guess...

yeah prices are getting pretty bad. but not at all places. extreme paintball (which pisses me off they're closed this year) is 5 cents a ball is pretty ****in amazing around here. well last time I went playin I blew 60 on paint, in 2 hrs. I should have just bought a damn case of paint instead of a rev. yeah splatters is pretty bad from what I've heard, and their owner is an ***. I know a guy who works there and he don't like it much. My sorta team pratices at area 51 instead. hopefully I can join em sometime. but give ntag some credit they're workin their asses off cuz they're the only one around there so they don't have any competition thus they have high prices cuz people will have to pay that or drive all the way to kitchener or london to play.

ya....this sport is crazy expensive!
u have to spend over 300 for ur marker...plus like 50 for Co2 tank...or 200 for HPA..etc,etc,etc
then ur all set up to play and have to drop another like 60 for 3 hrs of play?
But hey this is like the only outdoor place in my area...well there is another field...but its owned by the same peeps....
so i would have to play indoor speedball in TO...or travel like an hr to play outdoors!
to all those thinking of making a killer outdoor field in ontario..MAKE IT WEST OF TORONTO IN THE HAMILTON/BURLINGTON AREA!! PLEEEEEZE!

hehehe...
Oh ya.. Off topic.. But there was one guy who showed up with his dad.. He brought his own entirely plastic winchester pump but ended up renting a m98 @ splatters... But he still had this two foot pistol pump thingy in the pocket of his coveralls..
He ended up on our team... But I tell ya.. I just wanted to shoot him in the back when he wasn't looking.. What a liability...
He'd try to practically climb on top of you when you were hiding, he try and volunteer you to run the gauntlet of 100 ft of open space when 2 Rt's and an Impulse are trained on you while he laid down cover fire from him single feeding his winchester pump... He also managed to shoot a couple of our own teammates who had snuck up the flanks.
On top of it all he could't do anything gracefully, he was lumbering around like an oaf and I think he communicated to well but for the other team...
Like when I was one of two left, myself and him. He hadn't left his starting spot yet.. But he was yelling stuff like "Get out of there.. You're all alone, and almost out of paint and gas"... Well thats an open invitation for the other team to dole out an a$$ kicking on myself if I ever heard one...
I just wanted to pulp his head with the trigger frame of my outlaw.. But I didn't want to A) wreck my trigger frame, B) destroy the image of the half-challenged boy in the eyes of his dad... But then again the kid had to be over 17 anyways...
But other than that.. a good time.. But like many in this thread it was close to a $60 day for paint... And that was for only about 600 rds for 5+ hours.. Might have been less but it was so muggy inside my mask kept fogging up. To buy in a store I could have had a case for $90-120 for 2000 or 2400 if I wanted to go proball so I am bitter about that.
