Going to a paintball field and giving out massages, for how much?

[Connie]

Well, I'm going with my ex boyfriend and his dad to Bellingham (In Washington State) to a 24 paint ball game. I'm a whimp so I wont be playing, but I want to give out massages to the players for a cheap price since I'm not licensed. I was thinking $1-$3 for five minutes, but I'm not sure what to price it. Anyone have any REASONABLE prices going by a five minute massage? And can be for as long as minimum 5 minutes a massage?

Please be reasonable and fair, I want to give good service.

Umm why would you do that? Are you like one of escorts the give a "massage" or something

That's a strange idea... Never heard of a getting massage at a paintball scenario. $1-$3 for 5 minutes seems a bit cheap, but the cheaper it is the more business you'll get right?

Average price for a licensed masseuse is basically a dollar a minute. If you charge $3 for five minutes, that's almost half price which sounds fair to me.

As long as you get permission from the field owner/manager/whoever's in charge, no one is going to hassle you about the legalities. If someone wants to be so shallow & petty that they'd raise a fuss over licensing laws, simply stop giving massages.

Even licensed massage therapists don't charge anything at sporting events. Usually it's done for credits, and sometimes you get tips.

Just do it free and leave a tip jar next to your table.


If you charge money, and you're unlicensed in a state that requires a license then you might get into an annoyingly serious bit of legal trouble there if someone gets nosey. However, not all states require a license, and I'm not sure if Washington is one of them.
