They charge you to use your own gear? That's just messed up
I think the field fee is 10 bucks at my field, air fills are like 5 bucks and they kinda just keep filling you up all day for free after that. They make most of their money on paint (as do many fields) $80 a case. I kinda wish they would atleast have marbs but its usually 32* comp. Last time I went I bought like half a case of that for 40 (split w/ friend) and I ended up shooting about 800 zap that I had brought along b/c the 32* didn't agree with my barrel. FPO...but if you buy like 500 balls from them you can use whatever the *$#@ you want they don't care. I'm gonna get 2 cases of marbs or allstar of the net and bring that wit me from now on.
I have also sean some fields that charge you like an entry fee and then if you choose to use your own paint its like a $10 flat fee. Which is pretty good if you think about it. You can chosses the paint that you want and just pay that extra 10 bucks.
I want to get a season pass to EMR paintball (pennsylvania) for next year. I think their like 150 bucks and get you in any time for normal play pluss they include all the senerio games and castle conquests. So all you have to do is buy paint all the time. But dammit EMR is like an hour + drive from me.
I need more cash!

Hum yes...me again...
I got curious and checked out the local fields web site. I haven't played there in a couple of months. It appears they jacked their prices up to $95 a case of paint and $15 entry fee (w/ 100 balls). N2 and CO2 fills are now free and they do 4500psi fills. I feal violated. $95 WTF? Seriously doubt they are using allstar yet. Probably still 32*! I mean they have good refs and they will always look at a downed gun and help out and stuff like that. They always have plenty of extra o rings (lol...yes I always use a couple) and such for free. But 95 dollars for a case of ****ty paint?
They do have a package deal for the day though. Angel LCD w/ compressed air (of course), mask, 6pod pack and 800 paintballs for $69. Also includes field fee and everything. I think I will have to bring 70 bucks with me next time...that could be fun.
So much for Accuracy By Volume...then again if I believed in that I wouldn't have my sypder...would I?

dude, dont go there. 95 bucks a case of paint? thats ridiculous. is that the only field there? if it is i sincerely doubt they are hurting for money. this is why there are anti-monopoly laws, because if there is only one company selling something they can charge whatever they think. theres a simple solution, if you know enough people are pissed (as they should be) then start your own field. you could actually make a lot of money. dont scoff, its quite viable. or of course you could just not go there and play outlaw. down here in miamithere are like 5 fields and almost none of them have that dumb FPO rule which is used just so they can line their damn greedy pockets. trust me the deal is such a rip off that these people are incredibly greedy, start something and make your own field and undercut their prices, even if you lose money for a while. if you undercut them enough that people come there, and then see your better, then hell, youve just made your own business all because those *******s got too greedy. hmmm, i seem to be ramblin

wow, that does suck. i would hate it if my bro payed FOR me :rolleyes:
my field charges:
$5 entry with own gear
$4 20 oz co2 fill
$27 for 500rds of Advantage Premiums
its not that bad, but charging for admission and your own gear is dumb. just find another place to play.
i only use 500 rds when i play so thats like $68 a month because i only have to get my tank once a month. i only play every other week, prolly will play more during the winter when i get a job.

Well as far as I know it's the closest field to me. It's called global (www.globalpaintball.com). I live around the Allentown area in Pa if anyone knows where that is. Skirmish USA (www.skirmish.com) is about an hour north of me. And EMR (www.emrpaintball.com) is also about an hour away. Both of these fields often host events that are covered in APG and P2EX and other mags like that. But they are all pretty expensive. I think skirmish is $29 field fee and EMR is like $25. I do play a lot of outlaw ball. I just like playing with other people instead of the same peeps all the time...gets boring fast if you know what I mean. I wish they would just go to charging $5 for every 1000 balls you bring like trauma's field.

My field fees for a day:
500 paintballs my choice from any kind the field has (includes Team colors, powerball, Quake, and recently, some damn good bright pink ones that I can't remember with virtually no seam.)
Air: $5 a fill for 12 oz or more, but soon to be $10 for all day N2 when I get my N2 tank.
So I'm looking at $30 for about 5 hours worth of play time. But they only have one field, and it's speedball, but they're working on a woods course.
Other than that 30 bucks, I'm all set. $95 is WAAAY too much to be paying. You could try a boycott, or tell them their prices are too frickin high.

Our club fee is $25 a year and that includes free rental if you need it, free HPA and Co2, Free field fees, and its $55 a case for diablo paint. It is pretty cool because our school gave us land for a field and they helped pay for some of our things like bunkers, netting, and tourny fees for MICT. We raise our money for rentals, and our trailer and other stuff from tourny's we have in the spring and fall. For the most part they try to keep it as cheap as possible so all us poor student's can afford to play every weekend.

I have to pay $25 to get in with my own paint, but I get 5 dollars off if I buy any of thier paint. Then C02 fills are $4, and I go for the whole day so I get kinda hungry, so we're looking at about $5 for food(food is cheap so I can get two hot dogs, a bag of chips, and two bottles of water for that much). So that's about $34 when I bring my own paint, but most of the time I buy it from there so it's about another $25 for 1000 rounds ($54 for a whole day when buying paint). It's kinda expensive and I quit my job at the local paintball shop cause I need to focus on school err some BS like that, so I'm broke.

My field, splat attack, charges $15 if you have all of your own gear.
Then I usually bring about a half case of at least good paint, so its another $25.
Then pizzas are $10 each, so I split one with a friend.
So a day of paintball costs me bout $50.

Man, i haught i had it rough
I pay 12 bucks for 5 hours on 7 fields, 5 dollars all day nitro, bring your own paint, no charge, 45.00 for a case of big ball (yuk) I am sponsored by Springfield Paintball (Kick'n Paintballs) so i get unimagineable deals on everything, so i usually pay aboooouuuuuuut 17.00 dollars for a day of paintball. It would cost more but i dont eat when playing paintball, and i bring a cooler full of water. The fields site is www.paintballhq.com go to the field section, all the prices and scedules are there. Only real problem is i have o drive 1 hour to get there, no biggie though.:)

That's why my friend made his own field. Couple acres of land, four on four play, we just bust it out. That is complete bull though! I go through about 50-200 paintball,s dpeneding on how many people and if I get lazy, but still! That is a lot of $$$. I couldn't afford that.

09-26-2001, 09:20 PM
my field is
5 field fee.
1.oo per thousand nitro.
70 for a case of marbs (FPO)
and if you have bought there paint you can use up what you brought with you.
so I usually buy paint once a month and play with my own paint most of the time and save the field paint till the last sunday
we also get water for 50 cents

The field I play at is free to get into, $2-4 dollars for co2, $2-5 for n0, any paint you want to bring, and equipment charge if you bring your own. This is a real paintball field. Oh yeah...Team Sabotage and Team Atomic are the bomb! Right Blackmagicman.
