Most UK site owners would be loath to turn away paying customers however they come in?

I'd steer well clear of these wasters.

They had a stand in Milton Keynes at the weekend, I asked 'where is your site in MK as its posted on your website' - couldn't answer me

He said I could use my own gun - he had no idea if I had a £70 spyder or a £1,000+ tricked out tourney marker.

Kept saying about their special offer if I buy tickets now I can play anywhere and how I would get 6 free Jongluers tickets - I play paintball I'm not interested in a comedy club night. As stated before, just a booking agent with little or no knowledge of the sport...avoid at all costs

If the sites seldom make money off MOP referals why do they accept them? Seems to me if they don't really serve the sites' interests if the sites simply refused to accept the MOP "customers" MOP would quickly change tactics or cease to exist.
The theory is that at the end of the day you give the MoP customers a flyer with your direct booking details. The site usually has to charge more for paint sold to MoP customers as there is a set price on the MoP tickets which is certainly more than most sites that I know charge their direct customers, and you can then point out that overall they will get a better deal if they cut out the middle man, and get repeat bookings direct next time rather than through the agency.

Mop

The problem is the staff and the company itself, the owners.

I had 17 guys arrive at my site wanting free admission and their first 100 Paintballs free, and also lunch and soft drinks.
My site is outside Belfast, they bought the vouchers in Edinburgh.
They also had another piece of scrap paper from MOP entitling them to a V.I.P. treatment. (what does that mean?)

We dont serve food, ever. Customer was promised food. Lie #1

We dont have a V.I.P. lie # 2.

We were not part of the MOP network then.

They were told 100 Balls would be enough for a whole day. Lie # 3

So i am more concerned with people ignorant to Paintball who know nothing of costs, then arrive and have to pay more money.

When i complained to MOP, no one rang me back, not even the owner,
surely he would come on the boards and defend his business if he thought he was being completely above board.
