tickets

The problem with a lot of 'free' tickets to a paintball site is that they rarely relate to individual paintball sites. Unless it belongs to one of the national chains they tend to be pretty worthless unless a site takes the 'loss' on entry for you to come and buy paint on the day.
Inclusion of the 2000 paintballs either means they are genuine prize tickets and will be bound to a specific chain (Entry ot most UK sites makes this doubtful to me. Did she actually enter any competition to win the tickets?) or the 2000 included are shared among the 40 players.
Normally tickets cover the basic entry fee of about £10 which then has the punter price of paint for the day added on at about £50 per 1000.
Who are the tickets issued by and what are the terms?
Personnaly I'd recommend anyone with a punter group to call a reputable independant and ask for a deal. In my opinion you'd get a better day out even at punter prices with an honest assessment of what 'packages' to book in on for a days play (e.g. a combination of booking people pre-ordering 500, 1000 or 2000 paintballs), but at the right price this can be a fair ticket set for a group organiser, provided they have the numbers and do their homework on realistic costs by going to the pricing linked below.

I don't think you'll have any joy selling these on a paintball forum.
The entry is not the big cost,they make their money(and rightly so) on the paint.
Have a look on Ebay and you might get an idea of their value..
You gotta luv the "retail" or "worth" values.......
