Registration

Furry Migration is a cashless convention. ConCat, our online registration partner, accepts most major credit cards, such as Visa, MasterCard, American Express and
Discover. Furry Migration does not accept cash, checks, PayPal or any cryptocurrencies.

When registering, you must enter the exact billing address of the card you are using, or the transaction may be declined. ConCat’s card processing system Stripe verifies the billing addresses of all credit/debit cards during an online transaction.

If an error occurs when checking out, duplicate charges may appear on the purchaser’s credit/debit card. These charges are temporary, and are typically reversed within five (5) business days. If an erroneous charge has not been reversed after five business days, please contact our Registration department for assistance.

While Furry Migration itself is a cashless convention, our registered third-party vendors may accept cash or other alternative forms of payment. Each vendor has discretion over which forms of payment they choose to accept.

All registered attendees will receive access to convention programming which is appropriate for their age, as well as our Consuite. All registered attendees will receive access to Furry Migration for the entirety of the convention, except those who purchase a Sunday-only day pass,

The majority of our daytime programming at Furry Migration is rated PG, with only some exceptions rated PG-13. Any registered attendee may attend any of this programming, with the exception of special events which are held solely for our Sponsor and/or Super Sponsor level attendees.

Evening and nighttime programming includes panels and events rated “adult” (18+). ID check is required to gain admittance to adult programming. Minors under the age of 18 will not be permitted access to these events, regardless of parental consent.

Attendees may choose anything that is both family appropriate and of reasonable length for their badge name, at the discretion of Registration leadership. Inappropriate names will not be allowed. Furry Migration reserves the right to alter or shorten badge names as necessary.

Emojis and other special characters are not supported in badge names.

If you need additional assistance with a badge prior to registration, please contact Registration.

Registration to Furry Migration is sold every year as a badge. The legal owner of a badge to this year’s Furry Migration is the attendee listed on the registration, not the person who purchased it.

Furry Migration does not sell a perpetual membership to the convention. The convention sells tickets, referred to as badges, to our yearly convention event.

Only the registered attendee is permitted to pick up, relinquish or transfer their badge. Furry Migration does not allow attendees to pick up badges for their friends, significant others or spouses.

Every individual who wishes to attend Furry Migration must present a valid government-issued photo ID. Furry Migration requires this in order to keep our convention safe and fun for all ages, and to ensure that only the registered attendee is able to pick up their badge.

The ID must bear the attendee’s legal name, date of birth and photograph, and be issued by a state or national government. This ID must match the legal name used to register for Furry Migration.

If you require assistance in determining what types of identification are acceptable, please contact the Registration department.

If you lose or misplace your badge at the convention, a replacement badge can be purchased from Registration for a reprint fee of $20. Attendees must bring their photo ID for a replacement badge to be issued. If the badge is lost a second time, the full price of the badge will be charged for any additional replacements.

A partial refund of the reprint fee may be issued if the original badge is found, and if the replacement badge is returned before Registration closes on the Sunday of the convention.

If you’ve purchased a badge but can no longer attend Furry Migration, you may contact us to transfer your badge or roll over your registration to next year at no cost. The attendee named on the badge may submit this request by contacting Registration before pre-registration closes on August 28, two weeks prior to the convention.

In the event that you register multiple times for Furry Migration, it is your responsibility to notify the Registration department of the duplicate registration. Once the duplicate registrations have been confirmed by Registration, attendees will have the choice of receiving a refund for the cost of their duplicate registration, or a rollover of the duplicate registration to the following convention year. You must notify the Registration department of any duplicate registrations before Registration closes on the Sunday of the convention. Any duplicate registrations submitted after Registration closes shall only be eligible for rollover to the following convention year.

All notifications of duplicate registration must be received by September 30th. Requests submitted after this deadline will be ineligible for both refund and rollover.
