I know a lot of you guys are gonna be heading over to the Operation Columbia event at Tswwassen paintball in July... How many of you buy your event pass before hand or do you just get it when your over there. Ill be attending and hoping to travel with everyone that is going from Victoria, also hoping to have some new goodies for my A5 before then.

I'd guess that probably 90% of us make ticket arrangements in advance, there are usually a few that go over without a ticket in hand but not very many. Mostly because if Matt did get swamped and had to turn people away it would suck to make the trip and not be able to play. I don't think that's ever happened yet but I prefer not to risk it personally.

There will be a bunch of us heading over for sure, usually closer to the event date will post on here to get people together to pre-purchase some 5 packs of tickets to save a few bucks, if you don't get in a a 5 pack with someone and are unable to buy an advance ticket Matt will generally let Islanders pay at the gate I've never heard of anyone from the island being turned away.

Basically on game day everybody meets on the 7am ferry in the cafeteria, were not hard to spot just look for all the camo and speedball jerseys. Once were about halfway there someone (Usually SP or Me) gets a head count of people who need shuttle service from the ferry to the field and we give Matt911 a ring and he sends over the MexiVan, or Pick Up to grab us all.

Sometime probably about a month or so before game day Matt911 will post a thread regarding the event and that is where most of the chatter, ticket grouping, carpooling etc etc for the islanders will happen

I think this time Matt may need to charter a bus for us... we may exceed the capacity of the MexiShuttle even if it does several runs.

Typically I call up Matt and order a ticket in advance (I give him my credit card number). Ticket is waiting for us at the "gate". No issues to date. As there are no local ticket sales sources I am not sure how we Islanders can get them any other way.

Ya Ill probably give matt a shout next month and get him to put a ticket aside for me!

I will hook you guys up, just call as always. 604-437-7529 is my office number. We bill your CC and have the ticket at the sign in counter for pickup.

We are launching our new combat course at Tactical Paintball Games on May 08 (Saturday) - free BBQ for players, plus pickup games on the field running from lunchtime to 5pm.

Stay tuned for more details.

Matt, could you throw a few of the dates for that up in the Calendar so they're easier to find / don't get lost. I'm busy that weekend (3 birthdays) but I suspect there are a few folks around here that would be interested in checking it out.

[SouthPark]

What? Doh! BCPPL E1 rocks that weekend. Blarg! Need to clone myself so I can play it all!!

Fergus and I are making every effort to show up, and hope to be on the DEA side. We'll be getting our affairs in order as the next month rolls around.

Hope to see you guys in Vancouver!

When we call to confirm tickets I just tell Matt that they're for Islanders / Island United side and he tries to keep us all together. We often don't know which side we'll be playing on until game day as sometimes numbers require Matt to swing us (Island United) to a different team to keep things balanced.

We'll see you there, if you want to roll with the main Islander force let Matt know and he'll put you on the right team (whichever one that winds up being). If you've got a specific team that you're looking to play we'll see you there and 50/50 chance we'll be shooting at you

We meet in the ferry buffet to fuel up on the way over...

We meet in the ferry buffet to fuel up on the way over...

Most of us meet up in the Cafeteria because the Buffet is a little pricey, and there's usually a few of us stationed there through out the trip unless the boat is packed and they start asking people to leave the cafeteria as soon as they're finished. When you're finished at the buffet you should swing by and say hi.

We're never quite finished at the buffet...

Will drop by and say hi next time!

Awesome - see you guys on the ferry! I'll be buddying up with Oscuro and possibly Rockfrog (dunno if he's coming to Colombia, though), so keep an eye out for a stray gaggle of ballers going in the same direction you are. At least one of us is going to be dressed VERY conspicuously.

Wha da ya mean never quite finished?!?! We've always finished with lots of time to spare

[Wingnut]

By the way guys, I have been meaning to ask for a while now.

I read that there was a combat course opening soon in Tsawassen. This was the flyer, I believe.



I've only played Tsawassen once, for the 2006 event "Blackhawk Down," so I'm not the most familiar with the field's layout.

My question is, is the combat course going to be open for business on Operation: Columbia?

I believe the Tactical Course is at the other field, the gun owners field just across the highway, not the main field where the scenarios are usually done.

[Wingnut]

Ah, I see. So this is a second field that I'm confusing with the first, and it happens to be just across the way? That would explain my confusion. Alright, looks like I have another field to read up upon!

[SouthPark]

Tactical will be, I think, over at the field that is next to the Water Slides... across the hwy from the field that is next to the gas station.
