Is playing paintball really worth paying 60 bucks everytime that you want to go?

I lost interest in the sports when i got tired of paying so much money do other people really think paying so much money is worth it?

I never really had a great interest in the sport, but I go just for the hell of it.


It comes down to one thing.  Do you love the sport?  In a sense, are you willing to work to make the money?
The desire for polyester is just to powerful.

Now think about it.

If it was worth $60 a game, do you REALLY think I would be here 24/7?

I think that the 60 dollars you are paying every time could be spent in many other ways. Such as donating it to the little children in india who have no food to eat

Well, I think it is completely worth it.

I go about once a month, and I finally bought a season pass after going to the same field for four years.

Now I pay Free entrance, $5 air, and $65 for a case of paint. Add lunch/drinks it comes to $75 opposed to the $120 I used to pay for a day.

I love the sport, and don't mind spending the money. Even though my gun got stolen, I am going to buy a new one(probably a shocker). This would be why I never got a car after I crashed the one I had.
Que pasa?

LOL- if I paid 60 everytime I played I'd wonder to. Field fee= 0 Air fee= 0 case of tourney grade paint 30-40 depending on what I choose to shoot. Sponsorships are wonderful things.

Cheaper would be better but ,Yes I think it's worth it. First of all you have to Love the sport (a real passion for it). If it's not your thing then no it's not worth it. Go find what you think IS worth it. I for one would play as much as possible if it weren't for other responsibilities. I'd go totally nuts with it. (you only live once). I once spent over $400 just on paint in one day with a group of friends.

Hmm...


Last time I played I used my PGPII. For both days I used about $5 each. It's worth it for me.

I play pump and shoot very little paint. I pay $5 for the field fee, free air, and something like $70 for a case of paint. A case of paint will last me most of a season.
