Where in sheffield?

[JoolsHouston]

I am still kinda new to the forums even though I joined a few months back as I have been quite busy with other things recently. Nevertheless I was wondering where about's in Sheffield can I play, when I say this I mean show up a pay and play with other groups as my little brother wants me to take him out as he got some IPG tickets. I am new to the area so don't really know where to take him and if I can make it tomorrow on short notice as I have been looking at sites and they mostly look like they rely on you to book large groups.

Never mind Got it sorted.

A bit of info on IPG tickets.....

These are sold in the street as a 'discount buy now' ticket. The buyer gets a discount compared to the IPG online price of £30, (Book of 10 for £300) he probably paid £6.99 per ticket in the street (£69.90)
To use the tickets you then have to book with IPG for a Delta Force site at £9.99 for the booking and 100 paintballs
(£99.90 for 10 people)
http://www.ipgvip.com/how-it-works/
£16.98 each
Alternately you book directly with Delta Force for

You could book directly with delta force at £9.99 entry and £7.99 for your first 100 paintballs
£17.98 entry, which means as long as you didn't use the fake £30 IPG starting price it's cost you £1 more each for two of you then having to book 10 of you

You can how ever get similar prices, probably a little cheaper on the paintball prices which really matter with a less deceptive brand like skirmish etc

If he has been mis-sold tickets by the seller (they lied as opposed to just quoting the 'saving compared to £30' then he can pursue a refund from IPG and use trading standards

Find a local independent site and call for a chat

For a realistic estimate aim for 500 paintballs each for the day and ideally prebook with a site for entry with 500 each and budget to buy another 500 between you if you're having a great shooting day

There is a thread on here titled 'what paintball costs', search it out for a rough guide to pricing for punter paintball
(I promise that there will be an update to it in the near future!!!)

thanks for the info, I was taking the little one out to see if he enjoyed paintballing.The place was a rip off in my eyes but hey I don't normally go out to places like that.

Asylum paintball are in sheffield town centre (indoor site)

that do walk-ons on the last thursday of the month

 

[ohodgkinson]

YPC York is really good, bit far from you like

 

[smudgerebt]

Asylum sheffield shut, asylum stockport still open.

Over snake pass then quick drive down the m60 to stockport.

Still indoors and comes with a shop attached!

Skirmish Nottingham (Sherwood) is 35 minutes away from Sheffield and a well run site.

Is Strines still running (west of Sheffield by 15-20 mins)

 

[Canon Fodder]

Strines got bought out by delta farce (think it was them, its not Chris and Steve anymore) and they don't do walkon's anymore.

 

[ChairChimp]

Shame they ran a fun walkon.

Can recommend Skirmish Notts walkons from my experience.
