FAQ For all those Frequently Asked Questions

Motor City Furry Con is a convention run in southeastern Michigan. MCFC is a furry, or anthropomorphics, convention, which means that it is run for the furry fandom with the intention of offering programming catered to members of the furry fandom, as well as offering a venue for dealers, costumers, and general socializing of said fandom.

MCFC, Inc. is a 501c4 non-profit corporation founded in Michigan with the express purpose of holding the Motor City Furry Con event. No staff or volunteers receive monetary compensation for their work, but thanks is always appreciated.

Membership is open to anyone 18 years and older.

Rooms can be booked though our site here (when the link is up.)

Updates and more details about MCFC will be posted on all of our social media sites. Links to those are on the right side of your screen for desktop browsers, and on the bottom for mobile browsers.

All vendor space in the Dealers Den for MCFC 2025 is now taken, sorry. :(

The tables we currently have are 6 feet by 30 inches.

YES, new this year the main hotel's fee for parking is $15 a day per vehicle. This includes both the main lot and the hotel's overflow area. The hotel has discounted their normal ($30 a day) rate for us for 2025.

You will pay for parking as soon as you pull in. You can pay for either a single-day pass or a weekend pass (they are color-coded). Day passes are good for 24 hours.

The overflow hotel(s) will have complimentary parking.

Unfortunately, having a room at the hotel does NOT guarantee a parking spot. The hotel doesn't have a way to reserve spots, so parking at the hotel is first-come. Please plan accordingly - carpooling is always the way to go whenever possible!

We got lucky in 2024 -- the contract was already in place which specified parking would be free, before the hotel remade their parking lot. We fought for it again, but the discounted rate was the best we could arrange.

The main hotel will have an attendant on duty. If their main lot is full, people will be redirected to the overflow lot.

If you leave and return to find both lots are full after you've purchased a pass, the attendant will provide a refund.

The hotel will also have a golf cart patrolling its parking lot and overflow area. This will be used to transport people between the overflow and the front doors, as well as assist guests who have mobility needs.

Unfortunately there are no plans for a shuttle outside the main hotel grounds, such as between overflow hotels or any adjacent lots. We're still investigating but so far have not been able to find a shuttle service that fits our needs. Rest assured, if we do find any alternative solutions, we'll let you know!

There is a park-and-ride lot in the adjacent park, though it doesn't have many spots.

We have approached nearby businesses about using their parking lots during the weekend, however none have agreed so we can't recommend parking in those lots at this time.

Carpool, if possible! Talk to your friends that are going to see if they would want to split the cost.

If you live close enough, as many of our attendees do, consider comparing the parking cost to leaving the car at home and using a ride share service instead.

YES, new in 2025 the main hotel's fee for parking is $15 a day per vehicle. The overflow hotel(s) will have complimentary parking.

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 a Pre-registration rate 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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

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!

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.

You can change your badge up until it's printed. Printing has not started yet. Find the confirmation link you received when you registered, and it will say whether or not it can be changed. If you require further assistance please email registration@motorcityfurrycon.org

No. :)
