paintballing party views/help pls?

my 11yr old son is having a paint balling party . we got a good deal . 3.99 extrance and 100 balls and we can they buy 1000 for 69.99 so they can have 300 each for 3 game ( 6 SPLIT)

How the day is split in 2 so were were not going to stay to lunch and come home as we dont feel it fair to invite kids and then say itd going to cost you 7.99 per 100 extra balls or what ever after lunch. Also we would have to do lunch drinks etc .HOWEVER IT SEEMS ALL THE OTHER PARENT WHOSE KIDS HAVE ATTENED OTHER PARTYS HAVE PAID FOR SOME AMOUNT OF BALLS DURING THE DAY .

Also my friend is cross thay we got such a good deal as we are paying 17.99 per kid for 300 balls on a special offer . ( I have checked there is no extra to pay )

WHAT WOULD YOU DO SAY AFTER LUNCH AND GET THEM TO PAY ??

  • i'd ask them but 17.99 per child seems alot to pay to me and it is only a party generally parties only last a couple of hours

    I wouldnt ask for extra and the lunch is jacket and beans normally.

    the last one i went to the kids put the gun on auto and the 100 balls lasted 7 minutes in short bursts. It was very expensive so we left and took them to a cavery. It was £3.69 for the cavery and printed vouchers off before we went for free ice cream.

    The topic at lunch was 5 minutes paintballing and never ending gossip about the refillable ice creams and toppings. We did take a box of sprinkles and sweets of our own aswell because our cavery usually runs out..

    i know it expensive the whole day is 35.00 and inc 500 ball and last 9.15-4.30 the half day is 9.15-1.00 and we can get 300 balls but its what my son wants and we normally spend around 100 on a party so without this offer there was no way off doing it .

    If we stay all day will will take lunch and drinks etc as lunch is only 1/2 hour . The paintball centre provides table etc.
