Shoreline and Tippmann Sports finalise Tippmann Challenge UK 2013
****NEWS FLASH****
TIPPMANN SPORTS AND SHORELINE PAINTBALL COMPLETE DEAL FOR THE TIPPMANN CHALLENGE UK 2013
For the fourth consecutive year, The Tippmann Challenge UK event will be run by the UK’s leading event organiser, Shoreline Events Ltd.
Tim Barnett, Director, Shoreline Events Ltd:
“We appreciate the support that Tippmann provide Shoreline across a range of our project, both in terms of events, our TV Show and some projects behind the scenes which are less visible.
The 2012 Tippmann Challenge UK broke all sorts of world records for speed of ticket sales, game duration and was one of the highest profile events in the world this year. So it is gratifying when for the fourth year in a row, despite having other options, Tippmann turn to us and ask us to run their flagship event for the UK. ”
Shoreline never believe in standing still, churning out the same game year after year. Therefore, the 2013 TCUK will be completely different and redesigned from top to toe. The off field set up will be moved off site and will deliver the best off field facilities at any game anywhere in Europe. Facilities will include a private swimming pool, dining hall, proper pub and relaxation lounges, laundry facilities, hard standing toilets and shower blocks, drying rooms and a camping area that has been designed as 5* by the British Tourist Board.
The game itself will be completely redesigned but will still take place within one of the most outstanding playing venues in world paintball. The game itself will be hard and demanding with the aim that players will be exhausted by the time they are transported back to the luxury of their own swimming pool and pub.
Most Big Game organisers just try to sell as many tickets as possible to maximise financial gain……its all about cramming as many players as possible through the gates. But Shoreline are different. The 2013 event will see the cap in players reduced by 50% down to just 400 players. Why? Because at Shoreline, the best experience for the players is more important than just selling as many tickets as we can. More quality, less quantity. More Mercedes Benz, Less Nissan Micra.
Shoreline have lead the world in the use of technology in recent years but for this game the clock will be rolled back. No technology, no fancy screens, no GPS tracking, no wireless scoring systems……..all of this will be stripped away leaving a good old fashioned hardcore gunfight.
The entire event will be structured around hardcore gunfighting all day in one of the worlds best playing venues, followed by absolute luxury and 5* facilities at the end of the days play.
Fight like Lions by day. Live like Kings by night.
In a totally unique innovation, Shoreline have hired a dining hall and breakfast and dinner will see all 400 players eating and dining together. The final dinner will be a formal dinner with dress code, entertainment and event Awards.
The event will launch next week with tickets on sale a couple of weeks later. Last year double the number of tickets sold out in 4 minutes 32 seconds. So if you want to attend the 2013 event you may have to move fast when tickets go on sale.
The 2013 Tippmann Challenge UK will be a totally unique event and players will not have seen anything quite like it before. It will be innovative, it will be fresh, it will always be epic if Shoreline are involved.
Event launch next week. Tickets on sale a couple of weeks later. Good luck!!
