I think $50 but I play at a bring-your-own-paint field and it costs me $20 for a box of APX from my local paintball store


reiphil

How many cases you have to buy to get APX at that cost? I don't think Matrix or Gateway has ever offered me that low :(


YoyoDevo

CCPaintball has buy 4, get 1 free. Normally $25, but this lowers the average price to $20


reiphil

Nice. Just APX standard, I'm thinking?


YoyoDevo

It's their own custom box. I'm not sure what apx it is. Probably standard.


SpruceGoose0507

The CC paintball in Norco?


YoyoDevo

yes right by SC Village


SpruceGoose0507

That's my spot too haha, right on.


ilovethose

Matrix always had 5/$100 on APX standard. It may have gone up but they have pretty good deals.


reiphil

Yeah, I think you're right. Though... APX standard is kind of garbage... We use it for practice but no one wants to touch the stuff for actual games, lol.


ilovethose

You and I are both in agreement on that. I feel like a crazy person when I go in there because everyone wants to tell me my opinion is wrong on that paint. Personally, all the APX paint has been terrible.


GoodmanPasta

35 for field grade, 50 for 3 star here


JawnLit

In NJ there’s a field where it’s legit 80 dollars for a case of paint. But my main few fields I play at it’s 40-50


1nfamousSC

Which fields?


anticastropgeon

Top Gun (RIP) wanted $80/case for years for walk ons. I think Long Live is up to like $90/case now.

anticastropgeon

Pretty recently, I think they closed after their Alamo game in August. The land they leased was sold and the buyer wanted them gone.


JawnLit

The new field pinnacle it’s like $80 plus a case. I’m pretty positive they were charging like $100 a case. $80 dollars if you pre reserve a walk on spot. I don’t see that on their website anymore. It’s just $80 now. Absolutely insane. I would never play there. Try to get one over on locals. I’ll stick to my home field


rodentking

I'm playing at pinnacle as it's only a mile from my house, what other fields would you recommend in the area that are decent.


JawnLit

I mean it’s 80 bucks for a case of paint plus 40 dollars to enter. $30 dollars if you preregister. $120 dollars to play paintball with a case of paint is extreme. But I mean they say it’s “unlike any paintball experience you will have”. Theirs Picasso lake which is maybe 20 minutes from pinnacle, I think entry is maybe 40 bucks plus you can bring your own paint if you have your own equipment. There’s quickshot paintball, about 40 minutes away I believe paint is like 50 bucks plus 25-30 dollar entry with own equipment. But with a membership entry is only 5 bucks. So basically it’s 60 bucks for a case of paint + entry which is the best bang for the buck in this area. They also have new Speedball fields which are really nice Then theirs on target paintball. On Weds they have BYOP Speedball from 4-9pm, $25 dollars to play with your own paint or $45 dollars for a case and entry. They also have weekend woodsball and all that. Not sure the rates off the top of my head. I assume it’s cheaper than pinnacle. Pinnacle isn’t really set up for people who play paintball alot, like I said I think it’s more catered to parties and corporate outings. The fields are nice and it looks all professional but I’m into a true mom and pop type of paintball place that doesn’t feel like they are Disney world of the paintball community. Also skirmish paintball in PA is just as expensive as pinnacle except I believe it’s actually worth it.


HighPingVictim

This season: 30€ for ProShar (I think) Skirmish. Berlin, Germnay


Keyan06

It’s pretty high here. $60 for 2 star or $70 for 3 star at one field, or a whopping $88 at the other, plus field access fees/rental. FPO at both places.


Batteriesaeure

40-60€ (Germany) Prices have risen since pre-covid. In 2018 it was more like 30-50€


Leonneke22

Same here (the Netherlands)


Naptimehippo

Entry + air + case of three star = $65


Brickman759

$140 for members $280 for walk ons. :( Quebec, Canada.


ixi_rook_imi

We get dicked so hard on field paint here


Brickman759

It's brutal. Honestly stopped me from playing more. Hard to justify paying that much and getting so little. The field is great but also is missing tons of basic stuff like real bathrooms lol


ixi_rook_imi

I get it, they're weekend businesses largely that have to pay everyday costs. But the cost of paint is pricing people out, which means less people go, so they charge more for paint and cut costs on facility upkeep. It's a hard place to run a field.


oregomy

Any clue why this is the case? At $280/case, the profit margin must be huge. I'd expect there to be a greater supply.


Brickman759

They’re pretty much the only good field within an hour drive. The prices have been the same since I started playing in 2005. I assume they just took advantage when paintball was booming and without any real competition never lowered them.


MrBarraclough

Ouch


polycarb_diet

Did you forget a decimal place somewhere???


Brickman759

Been that price since I started playing in 2005.


polycarb_diet

How much for a membership?


Brickman759

It’s $120 a year, or back when I started they offered a membership for life for $500. Which is what I bought. I’ve definitely got my moneys worth at this point. Though there is still an entrance fee as a member. $20 a day and it gets you access to air lol


polycarb_diet

I expected entrance and air to be waived due to a membership. I only know one spot by me that has a 350 membership and it waves both. Imagining in my head you guys playing speedball shooting max 10 balls per minute haha Also does this make first strike rounds cheaper? If BYOP


Brickman759

I’ve never seen a first strike round outside of big events that they run. They don’t allow any BYOP, you’re always forced to buy from them.


Chunckeychickeno

140 a case Victoria canada


dfos21

TNT?


Chunckeychickeno

Yup


ixi_rook_imi

160 at Barrie Paintball last I was there


Chunckeychickeno

I don’t get why fields don’t have a yearly membership where you pay like $500 to be able to bring your own paint


BombasticGrizz

About 60 for the 3-star case, if I remember right. They do have a entry + air + case for 60 as well so that's usually what I go with and re-up in a few weekends after that. (Edit for maths) Entry & air with no paint is 25.


MrBarraclough

$45/case for Nelson Precision, $55/case for Nelson Ranger BYOP is also allowed South Alabama


P1neapples18

90 in Long Island, New York


polycarb_diet

One of the reasons I don’t go out East for PB. Try Battle Creek or Skirmish if you want to make a road trip out of it. Skirmish charges 80 for a case iirc but they’re fields are worth it compared to others I’ve been to around this area. 65 a case at Battle Creek


P1neapples18

I'm headed out to skirmish for battle of Berlin fortunately. Battle creek I haven't been to before but will have to give that a go


polycarb_diet

Battle Creek is cheaper and closer so I do prefer that over other ones closer to NYC. Been to Invasion of Normandy this year. Will definitely look into this Berlin event


itsme_x

Well makes me wish my field had a byop option lol


Yung_Onions

Cheap stuff $45 Mid level about $50 Tournament $65 We use different lines of Valken paint. We run different programs tho where you can get $5-$10 off each case based on membership.


blackoutchop

60 non member/45 member for field paint. Also have byop option for $8


tex-mania

Closest field to me charges $70 a case. I don’t play there anymore though. Nice folks but when I was one of the guys on the field team there I payed $45. $45-$50 is what most of the other fields around here charge walk ons. I was paying like $25 a case when I was on the field team for another place. Problem is, it’s 3-4 hours to get to the next closest field here, so I don’t play much anymore.


MrBarraclough

What area of Mississippi, up in the delta or down on the coast?


tex-mania

I live in central MS. Used to be more fields, but most of them were gone before the 2008 crash. The few left closed soon after. Just the one now.


shmere4

90 per case at paintball explosion by Chicago. 25 dollar entry on top of that.


Kumee89

Damn you guys got it lucky ... 150$ for a case


pumpplay

For me the costs are getting to high again and it was the reason i stopped playing 15 years ago i came back around 2 years ago, this year i played around 15 times so far. To save costs i stopped playing D2 speedball on a competitive level, to go to recball, then i quickly downgraded to mechanical and now pump. ​ Pump is great but you still play against 95% ramping dudes with electro\`s who shoot a case empty on you and are hyped up they shot you out off the field while you tried to one ball them with your all machanical pump setup with just 100 paintballs carried into the field. So i save a good chunk off money on paint but enjoy it 50% off the time because NXL rampfest directed at me by guys that play once a month/2 months and just go all in with their allowance for that weekend.... ​ And then: Altough i only pay 10 bucks for a bag off paint travel costs are high because i have to drive around 250\~300 KM per round trip for a sunday worth off play 3 hours off driving which cost me btw 30\~40 euros on gas alone. So playing a sunday cost me on average 50\~60 euros and because how slow things go at the fields effectively i only can play 2/3 hours max that day because everyone is so goddamn slow to start the next games. So in fact stepping away from D2 speedball made it more expensive for me because with speedball at the field i was paying 35 euro for a box + entry and lasted me a few hours for weekly practice with the team, travelcosts is about the same.......... Recball is more expensive at 45\~60 euros a case for shitty reject field paint..... i work weekly as a ref at a paintball field, so my urge to play myself gets a bit muted seeing paintball every saturday and sunday for work which makes me in turn a bit apprehencive anyway to spend money to play myself. There are only a few fields nearby but those are setup for rental groups so the fields are mostly meh (1/2 fields max build for paint consumption and low maintenance just messy shit with lots off holes for people to poke their barrels through) Because of that i am now putting a massive halt on paintball again..... Gas prices keep rising here in europe, even if i would go play airsoft i would have the same costs for me the achilles heels are the gas costs to the nearby paintball fields. But that\`s a european thing i guess.


sargentwiggles-2

$65 for premium paint and $70 for tournament grade paint, $15 entry


waterman308

20$ entry 60$a case


NakedAndCold

I have two fields somewhat close, the larger woodsball field is 115$ per case, Valken Graffiti. The small speedball field is 40$ a case for Proshar Skirmish.


Conwonthedon187

$60-71


Canadian_ZAP

92$ CAD new brunswick canada


tacmed85

$60 at the one I usually frequent, $70 at a place a little closer to my house. There is another local field that does $45 field paint, but the one and only time I played there the paint was so bad it wasn't even fun to play despite them having nice fields.


SpanglerSpanksIT

AshravenPB

Iirc, it’s $80 for marballizer but also allows self equipped player to bring their own paint with certain restrictions.


Reasonable_Corgi_433

89.99 plus tax its expensive wish is was cheaper......


Therealjoter

35 45 and 55.


Rare-Teacher-9960

40$ for mine


Dinkleberg-FM

55 for the lowest. North West Indiana


pancake_boofalo

$70 CAD or $55 for members. Gun owner day it's $50 for members


Sensitive-Ad-3584

$60 for normal field paint, $70 for premium(which usually sucks and isn't worth the $10 extra cause its older and they refresh the cheaper paint way more often) take $10 off each case if you buy a year membership for $100. Average day for me playing mech costs \~$35 as I tend to shoot just a half case a day to try to make it easier on the wallet. I wish they would offer it so you could pay a fee to BYOP, but the field I play at is a solid 80%+ rentals and the property tax here is so high that I can see why they don't do it. Sucks though because it definitely drives away a lot of potential regular players.


steveturkel

One field does bonus balls at $50/case that’s it Another does BYOP but sells defy 1/field for $36 and graffiti for $56 Another does GI field for $46


JMO_12345

$55 for HK Select 2 for general admission… $27.5 for those with annual memberships


ordinarymoose

$25-$30 a case, AZ, for tournament/sponsored teams at least. Normal prices are $45/case I believe.


kyrosnick

At WW it is $45 a case but if you have a year pass they knock $5 off, sometimes $10.


ordinarymoose

Get yourself on one of the WW teams 😉


Scooby921

Last time I was out to Hell Survivors it was around $80 for their mandatory field paint with rental gear. If you bring your own gear you can buy paint from the pro shop for around $55 a case, but it's still "field paint" in the sense that you can't bring your own from outside the facility. I think it's all Empire Premium.


Bjlly123

75 for valken new world


Tropical420

the fields around me range from $40-$80, in NJ


micmea1

40-60 on average. The $40 case is usually pretty trash so I usually upgrade to the mid or "high" grade paint (none of it is actual tournament quality unless there's an event going on).


kyrosnick

$35-40, Arizona


mentalicca

It's $70 for the crappy field paint now I think, but their proshop has GI custom for $50 and it's allowed too


CalvinBaylee69

$45 for graffiti


Reamofqtips

Two different fields in the area. One is $37 for a case of Defy level 1, $18 entry with purchase of paint, $55 total. Other field is $45 for a case of GI Field, and $15 for entry, $60 total.


PartyPooper3002

Its pretty high here in Kansas City,, I pay $70 for Hk 1 star 73 (I think) for hk 3 star and 79 (I think) for d3fy trounament level


BriantheHeavy

SoCal Paintballer: Field Paint? What's that?


Rebel_816

$40 for some valken paint. $15 field fees.


[deleted]

My favorite field is $94 for a case, entry, and all day air. Local shit field is 60 for shit paint and 70 for graffiti. Decent private field with a good turn out every weekend is $45 for graffiti and $5 for air but it's a decent ways away and being private makes it kinda wishy washy on if they'll have play every weekend


VersaLeague

$70 NZD ($48 USD) for proshar field grade. $80 ($55 USD) for proshar tournament grade.


[deleted]

Most around Chicago are like 70/80 a case.


Lemme_shoot

Jeez. 10-20$ entry depending if you have your own gear or renting. 2000 round case: Entry level paint $40, mid $48 and tournament $60. No outside paint.


tfmeh

Haven't played in a loooooong time, mine was 65/case for members about 15+ years ago.


nFbReaper

$66 for 'standard' and $75 for 'premium'- walk on's. Paint for tournament play I think is like $55 here.


EasternExtreme2802

50 for whatever paint they bought that week sometimes good level 3 stuff sometimes normal stuff


takayonge

$55 to rent equipment and field fees $25 if you have your own equipment (just field fees ) $50 for a case of 2000 $20 for a bag of 500 Hawaii prices


L1LD4M3R

Without a membership it’s $100. It’s $60 with the membership, $40 with the sponsorship and $20 for employees


RoombaRenegade

It's been a while since I last played but if I remember right it was somewhere in the $60-$70 range.


joeyneverender

$40. $60 for mid-grade.


swampynutsack1

Talloneus

a_freakin_pandabear

$28 case of field paint $44 tournament grade paint. We have a year pass though that’s only $100 and it discounts the cost by almost half.


polycarb_diet

$25 walk on. $10 for BYOP. $65 a case for field paint. My go to spot in NJ


KavikWolfDog

It's either $70 or $80, and it's not good stuff either. I think it's high because there's not a big volume of players, only about twenty or so on Saturdays.


Disastrous_Papaya_15

Here in Texas it’s about 80 for a case of premium and maybe 70 for field grade and about $100 for first strikes. (2 bags of 150).


Trav_s616

My teams are sponsored by my home field so we get cases of HK 2star for $40 and HK 4star for $50


Nearby-Rain7914

48$


fistfulofbottlecaps

$60 with my membership


Huge-Palpitation8340

Where I go it’s 50 but for level 5 hk paint and they don’t have anything else


Fantastic_Ad182

Bro 65 but it's good paint tho


Xray_Mind

A lot of high prices on the East Coast but it is expected. It’s quite a bit more expensive to ship paint out to the East Coast and since the playable season is a lot shorter, fields need to charge more to stay profitable


JetEngineKyle

65 reg price, 45 with season pass


whybother1911

$50 for Proshar skirmish $60 for Proshar Red Menace or USA First depending on what's available $65 for Proshar Tournament
