I bought some IPG Paintball tickets for my son's birthday party from a stall in the Trafford Centre. Before I bought them I did a price comparison online and found them to be good value. The pricing was a little confusing at first but essentially I got 20 tickets for £59.99 (I bought one book of 10 and the sales lady threw-in another one). So that worked-out as £2.99 per child. I knew from reading the tickets (and having the key points explained to me) that I'd have to pay an additional £9.99 per child when I phoned to book the event and that this would get ecah child 100 paintballs. BUT the sales lady also gave me two vouchers each for 1000 paintballs free of charge - and explained that these paintballs would be given to the children towards the end of the day just in case any of them had run-out (or run-short) by then. So, for a total payment of £12.98 per child, they would have a full day-out including all the equipment, supervision, use of facilities and 200 paintballs each. I couldn't find cheaper than that anywhere online! So far we've only used 10 of the tickets but my son had a brilliant time. His brother wants to use the remaining 10 tickets but his birthday's not until March. The place we played was called Delta Force - and the branch we visited was called 'Zulu Wood'. It was excellently run and the staff were really nice. The manager even gave me a hot-water bottle as I was waiting in the staging-zone all day and it was pretty chilly. All in all a great success.
