Registration

Should I Register?
Yes! You need to register in order to receive your badge. The badge is what gains you entry into all of the convention's offerings. We have Early Bird and Pre-registration rates before the convention, so we encourage you to register as soon as you're sure you're going to attend so you can lock in the best rates.
Who is allowed to attend?
Most anyone can attend, so long as you're 18. Sorry, we can't allow anyone 17 or under to register or attend at this time, even with an older guardian.
Do I need ID to check in?
Yes, please bring a form of currently valid government-issued photo identification which lists your birthday, and have it ready when picking up your badge in registration. This can include a driver's license or state ID, passport, military ID, tribal ID, or such.
Does general admission cover all the days of the convention?
Yes, all registration levels cover the entire weekend, with the exception of the Day Passes for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. If you pre-register before March 15th, you can pick up your badge on Thursday and enjoy the evening programming, too!
Do I have to register if I'm only attending for one day?
If you'll be here for just one day, you can use the Day Pass option. A Day Pass is the same as an Attendee registration, so you'll be able to get access to everything ordinarily available at the convention. Those are only available for purchase the same day either on the website or at the con.
Do I need an account to register?
No, you can provide your information on the registration form without logging in. If you create an account first, however, that lets you log back in later to keep track of your registration, makes upgrading easier, and such. You can register multiple people under the same account. Having an account also lets you do other things with the site, such as build a customized schedule.
How can I upgrade?
If you have an account on the site, log in and then click the Upgrade link. If not, look for the confirmation email in your inbox. The confirmation link contained in there will allow you to upgrade your registration, too!
Are refunds available?
Our current Terms of Service disallow refunds on registrations at this time. However, we do know emergencies happen and are able to make exceptions. Send an email over to registration@motorcityfurrycon.org and let us know what's up, and we'll see what we can do!
If I arrive late can I pick up my badge?
This year, if you arrive before registration opens or after it closes, you can stop by con ops and they will issue a temporary badge. Then when you're able to go to registration, they can swap that out with the real badge. Just make sure you pay with a card online -- con ops is unable to accept cash for the registration.
Can I change the name or artwork shown on my badge?
You can change your badge up until it's printed. Most pre-reg badges have been printed at this time. But you can still check! Find the confirmation link you received when you registered, and it will say whether or not it can be changed.
Do I need to have a fursuit to attend?
No. :)
