I should have figured that furs cons don't have extra money for mass mailings.

I foresee them being a little more personable than that. They will probably deliver your tickets to your place themselves, dressed in fursuits and bondage gear.

What a relief. This way there will be no questions about my convictions!

you wont ever able to run for president anymore :<
office bear planned this

Office bear CC'd my fursuit rave video to the entire office! I thought I could confide my desires to him...

I can't wait to see what Facebook/Flickr debauchery will haunt the presidents-to-be of 2030.

And I thought you were dry for new O.B. material!

Callouses will break out all over your fingers from all the window washing where you're going, buddy.

A lifetime of menial labor because my roommate found out about my secret hobby?

Naw, everything is electronic. Back in the days of fanzines, furry was still pretty underground, and today it's mostly an Internet thing.

Of course, that makes things real fun when the registration line goes down when you're trying to check into the con. ;)

I registered for this fur-con and I all I got was a bunch of junk mail.

You trigger a complicated series of event which will eventually destroy the galaxy. Don't do it!
But if you really want I don't think they send you anything, you'll have maybe to print out the confirmation and show it at the entrance.

Lol, I asked this same exact question about a year or two ago.. I worded it almost the exact same way as well.

What advice did you get from your response?

I don't really remember.. only like 2 or 3 people responded, but they just told me pretty much what people here already said.

The party van arrives to confiscate your computer and take you away.

I've never received ANYTHING in the mail from ANY type of convention, including furry ones.

Most don't in my experience, but Anthrocon does send letters (with Anthrocon's logo on the envelope). I'm not sure if they still send confirmations for all registrations (I received one in 2009 but not 2010, though it's possible it got lost due to an address change since I thought that I read they were sending them still), but they do send an additional letter at least for super-sponsors. You should probably check with the specific con if you're really concerned.

A little siren with fox ears comes out of your computer monitor and goes "WHOOP WHOOP WHOOP". You'll receive your complimentary fursuit in the mail in about 4 to 6 weeks.

They send a fursuit telegram to your door.
Whomever opens the door is glomped upon in an micro-orgy or scritches and petting.
Should this be your roommate they apologize, but the fursuiter is a MANDATORY requirement of all pre-registering at furcons.

I have no idea! I want to regiester for a con, but...

yes this is exactly what happens

Coming to FC? Maybe!?

No time to read all the comments ... I sometimes get a letter with a fairly subtle return address logo, but that's because I'm usually working as a dealer and there's official paperwork I may need to retain.

If you're just going as an attendee I think your confirmation is usually just electronic, either an email or a form you can print out once you register online.

Most cons don't have a physical ticket; you show up and show your photo ID to get your membership badge on site (both to prove who you are, and to determine if you need a minor badge or not.)

As for your initial question ... "What happens if I register for a furry convention?" ... if it's one I'll be going to, then I insist you stop by my table and say hi. ;)

Fur starts to grow on the back of your hands, and you have to go through a variety of comedically embarrassing situations to try to hide your impending transformation.

That might as well happen if my colleagues were to find out! :3

Ironic twist.

Your roommate orders the same tickets.

Antics ensue

THAT would be the shocker of the century!

They actually send info to everyone you know allowing them to socially ostracize at all future gatherings. They also send them your favourite porn.

"Hey roomie, what the heck is this letter and tape I got in the mail? Hardcore cuddling part 2: Over six hours of EXTREME cuddling! "

If your roommate isn't a shithead who goes through other people's mail you shouldn't have to worry.

They will do this, however your room mate will not get to see it. He will be blinded before the letter arrives by the men waiting in the van across the street.

Then.

They will take your fingers.

Then you get to enjoy a furry convention.
