Read your own previous post again, it makes very little sense... Might have something to do with the lack of things like full stops and commas in it though. It was very hard for me to make sense of what you were trying to say, that's why I asked.
However, YOU are the person that first mentioned price increases, and I have no idea where that came from. Experience shows that most of the struggling sites tend to lower their prices, do special coupon deals and what have you. Since many of these people struggle because they are not that good at selling themselves, they will struggle even more, since they will have an only marginally increased business, but at lowered turnover per capital.
If you research the problem, I think you will find (like I did) that the cost of booking a day's paintball is not what is holding these companies back. Rather it is a lack of ability in profiling themselves.
Please guys, can we get past this money thing? It ain't the problem! I understand that most of you mean well, but you really have no idea what's going on past the counter where the punters pick up their paint.
It is funny and sad at the same time that you are still discussing the money issue, rather than a real problem like promotion of walkon days and whatever comes next. If you do not understand the importance of that issue, you really have no clue, you are at least as short sighted as many of the site owners... (Ooh! Maybe we can get paint for cheaper, that'll be ace for ME!)
For the last time, money is not the issue. If it were, how come YOU are playing? How come so many of us fork out buckets-o-cash every six months for the latest marker? How come many of us MUST have this year's Dye clothing, rather than last year's? Does it improve your game?
And so what if some people can't afford to play paintball because they come from a low income situation? As sad as it is for these people, most of these people won't join a soccer club either, because they would rather buy food than spend a month's rent money on contribution.
