Just recieved an email from Joanna from International Challenges..

With regards to the questions that you raised, you are supplied with 500 paintballs on what ever ticket option you apply for, but paintballs are also provided on the day by the venue at £20 for 500 (which we believe to be a good price). You are not allowed to bring your own paint though.

All challengers need to register and pay prior to the event (this is due to the fact we need to know how much equipment to order for the day).

If you would like to proceed with this amazing world record attempt then we can send you a registration form which needs to be completed, signed and returned to us with your payment (in the form of a cheque).

[Jack Daniels]

this is obviously aimed at ordinary people and NOT paintballers. that is why the paint is so dear !!!

Big game £25 per case of 2000

if they think that £20 per 500 is a good price they need to re evaluate their goals! otherwise they are going to have less than before.

if they want to go for the world record it might be worth speaking to Jim Frensham at warped and see if he can help them out because otherwise they are just going to have a site with a few more peeps than before and no where near the record.

thing is UK people are just not that interested why do you think there is only 1 a year held by warped?

peace

This day is for punters not regular players.

Spoke to a guy at International Challenge who also reckoned £20 per 500 was a good deal. That was until I told him boxes of 2000 are around £20 - £40 depending on brand/quality.

4p per ball is Bawtry's "cheaper" bulk buy option for punters. (3000 for £120)

Where are they getting paint from...Harrods?

I doubt if many regular players will turn up at those prices.

If this is a genuine world record attempt then you would expect them to keep the prices reasonable. To attract as many regulars as possible who are used to buying their own paint and to also attract punters to start playing paintball regularly.

We all know sites get their bread and butter from selling well marked-up paint to punters. So why not hold a "world record attempt" and rip everyone off at the same time....?
