I got that as well. I got very excited. Would love if there was a crowd interested in going. I love paintballing.

I love when a word is misspelled, and ends up being a perfect description of the original word!

Did it there a few weeks ago, along with half an hour karting. Best craic ever.
Got 300 paintballs to start with, ended up buying 4 more containers @ €8 each. So it could end up costing over €50 in paintballs.
Worth it though imo, it takes a good few hours too.

Unless they're giving you free paintballs at the start, and it doesn't look like it, then it's not really free is it?

If the promotion was for kart+paintball (as in simultaneously) you could count me in

A lot of these companies advertise "FREE" to get people in the door.
What you get is either No Game Fee up front but most will give you a small number of paintballs to start you off for a small fee upfront.
As kc66 has said, it will cost you a fortune in paintballs after.
Most people when they start off, start blasting away and suddenly realise they've no ammo left and only into game 1.
What are you going to do then, stop?
So off they go to get some more bullets and more and more and then
at the end of it all, end up with a bill for €100!
I've seen it happen many times.
Expect to use around 100 paintballs each game unless you are very selective with the bullets and depends whether you are attacking or defending.
As a recommendation I would suggest try and find a place that has reasonable price for bullets.
Paying up front should also get you a discount.

Hi everyone,

Thanks for your interest in our special offer!

For okidoki987: Yes of course we must charge people for paintballs! We are the cheapest in the country at only €8 per 100 paintballs and this is listed clearly in the event invitation, so there are no "hidden charges" expected. After all, we are a business and we cannot pay our 11 professional paintball marshalls with fresh air!

People can use as much or as little paintballs as they like, some use 100 paintballs and prefer to just muck about with their pals, others get quite serious and can use up to 400 paintballs throughout the 3 games.

Paintball is not a cheap activity but during a recession we like to offer our customers a good deal for a great activity! It was expensive to build and very expensive to run but the cost to you on the day will be entirely your choice!

We have sold out so it'll be guaranteed a great game and great weather! Good luck to all our players!!!!!

paikea: Good Idea... we might just take you up on that!

Deutschlandfürimmer7: The fact we're hosting it on D Day is entirely coincidental I can assure you!!!
