Delta Force Paintball Street Sales

me and a friend went to Morrisons to do abit of shopping last night and some guys where outside selling paintball days. I have been paintballing before and im fully aware they make there main money on selling paintballs on the day.

They offered us a deal of 20 tickets for £60 with 100 paintballs free in the morning and then another 100 in the afternoon from game 11. At this point it didn't sound like a bad deal we where thinking if we get 15 of us to go that's £4.50 each and we each get 200 paintballs most of us will probably use another 300-500 so another £30 to £40 quid each.

We had filled in the initial details part and said he just had to go though a few points before taking payment, he said stuff like u must wear body Armour then said there is a £10 booking fee. At this point we questioned this saying isn't what we are paying now our tickets and we just ring up to confirm date. He said it gets you your first 100 paint-balls.

We questioned this, as it turns £60 booking into £210 booking. He tried to bribe us with a chocolate bar at this point we said we will have a think about it and might come back tomorrow.

At this point he gave us the sales spiel of I might be hear 2morrow but we are probably going to be sold out so you will have missed out.

What experiences have people had with this. checked online when I got home and the deal doesnt seem that great. Sounded good at £4.50 per person not so good at £14.50 per person

I have had a read of it already. I am realistic and know the cost of paint balling. I know they make the money selling paint when you are there. Just was misleading and we only spotted it at the last minute. I think at this point alot of people would of been scared to turn round and say no. We obv did cuz it turned out not to be such a great deal.

A friend who does paintballing quite often has reccomended some places to go and basically said delta force isnt a terrible day but there are much better places to go

Their business works by charging the customer for the paintballing and then charging the venue for sending you there.

I rang the venue directly and explained the situation and they offered me a much better deal as it mean they did not have to pay Delta Force any commission.

Try ringing the venue, you'll be surprised how flexible they are on price especially if you're taking a few people
