First time attending a NPPL event ... if I'm a local, can I go watch the event for free or is there entry fee? And how much was it last year if there was?

I can't remember from last year, but I am pretty sure both leagues charge for Pro Grandstand seats.

anyone can watch the event for free.

HOWEVER.... if you would like to watch center court where the pros and upper divisions play, you will have to buy a grandstand ticket. The weekend will cost I believe at most $60. A single day is $15 or $25, something like that.

I am unsure about the exact price, but that is the basic structure. Viewing is free except for center court.

Last year wristbands were like $5 or $10 for day, not bad at all

[monkeyballer099639]

Last year was $10 a day for Friday and Saturday, $20 for sunday for centercourt.

The event is free to attend, so you can watch the lower divisional fields for free and attend the trade show.

"trade show"
sucks that one of the biggest markets for paintball, southern california, does not get the big boys anymore.

Good point. Less competition = less innovation.

Still sucks not to see the entire lineup though.

Its one of the nicest events of any national tournament and you are helping the smaller companies which are trying to make it in this dying sport. Or you can go support the so "Called Big Boys" which little by little have started to turn the sport into their giant monopoly.

[dapoofyhairdude]

i wouldn't say nicest. possibly most unique. and probably the most publicly available. i do wish the general public would be able to see the full force of what paintball can offer. I remember 5-6 years ago when nearly all companies, big and small, were present. that was great exposure.

Arrowhead Wood, will be at Huntington Beach offering their furniture, but this time will be bringing our laser as well, and will be doing custom plaques on site, will have 3 sizes, and the 2 largest sizes will hold pictures as well.

[jamest91]

did that furniture company actually make any sales at Vegas? i felt bad cuz they kinda just sat in their booth talking to each other

[vietmy]

yes we did, thats why we are coming back but this time the plaques will be on hand and you will be able to put photos from the event in them as well. Also will have the laser right there so will be able to do custom plaques, and then of course be able to order custom furniture at a great deal for the event.
