I have ordered paintballing for 8 people including 100 balls from woolworths for my nephew and it is only 20pounds. You can buy extra balls there and it is available at 75 locations dont know what these are though but good value none the less.
I miss my mum every minute of every day

I recently paid for a paintballing session for my 16 yr old son and they got through 500 paintballs each at £5 per 100 so be aware its going to cost a fair amount of money on the day.

Be *really* careful with this one - £20 is getting you the paintball session for up to 8 plus 100 balls for 1 person - but they all have to pay around £10 each for their own 100 balls and further balls can be bought for around £10 per 100. Problem is that in an afternoon it is very easy for a beginner to go through *loads* of paintballs - when I did it last year we paid about £35 each for the session and it included 500 balls each - and most of us still had to buy another 100 or 200 at £10 a go. Could easily add up to an expensive day out.0

For a full day paintballing you will get through 500 - 1000 paintballs each (depending on location/games/experience/trigger happy)
You can expect each member to pay £35 - £50 each for paintballs.
Normaly you can get free entry/kit hire as they make their money on the paintballs.
One trick is to pay entry with 500 paintballs and buy your extra paintballs off ebay, 1000 for about a tenner, and keep them in a rucksack with your clean clothing etc.. cause they normally give you all your painballs in 1 go if you have paid for a 500 - 1000 ball session.
You can normally sneak a few hundred each on site without been caught out by the marshalls.£2 savers club = £83.500 -
I have 40 tickets with Ministry of paintball and will sell them for a small price in comparisson to woolworths price. If you work it out at the same price as woolworths id ask for £100, i would settle for a lot less than this. Maybe good for a work thing or a friends party etc
I will give you everything you need to use them, including my login and password for the VIP area you register your members etc, it just means you can book online!!
Let me no if your interested0 -
most of these offers are a con. i organised a day out for my work, and looked at this. i also called the local sites direct, and ended up paying £30 for 500 balls, equipment hire, lunch and drinks. i spent £65 all in as i bought grenades, extra paint etc.
my advice would be to look through the yellow pages and call all the local places rather than use one of these vouchers. my local guy actually laughed when i asked if i could use one of these type of vouchers, and told me it was a con, and that its cheaper to go direct. hthroll on december 26th : i want my house back!!!!
got it back, just the bloody tree to go now!!!!!0 -
Absolutely...always go direct to yuor local sites; they will cut you a much better deal.0

I got these last yr for my sons birthday, and it cost me a fortune!
I was so pleased, as thought I'd saved money- but by the time I'd paid the booking fee which included 100 paintballs, and gave them enough money for more paintballs, it cost loads!
We had more vouchers unused, but never bothered using them as the paintball price was so high0 -
I went paintballing just after i`d turned 50 , it nearly killed me!! Mind you had a great day, but it is`nt cheap for the balls, and they don`t half hurt,lol
