I AM PRE-REGISTERED. WHY HAVEN'T I RECEIVED CONFIRMATION OF MY REGISTRATION?

Confirmation emails are sent to all attendees upon registration. If you have registered and have not yet received confirmation, you may send us an email inquiring about the status of your registration at registration@thefurststate.com

I MISSED THE ONLINE REGISTRATION DEADLINE. DOES THIS MEAN I CAN'T ATTEND THE CONVENTION?

A bulk of our memberships are sold at the door! All you have to do is come to Registration on the 30th, pay your membership fees, and off you go to have fun! Although you won't get the nifty online registration discount, we're still happy to welcome you to New Years Furry Ball.

I REGISTERED FOR New Years Furry Ball ONLINE BUT NOW I FIND I AM UNABLE TO ATTEND. IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET A REFUND?

New Years Furry Ball does not offer refunds on registrations. Registrations can be transferred to another individual, or can be forwarded to the next event year if done by 12/24/2025.
Please email your transfer or forward request to registration@thefurststate.com.
To transfer your badge please send registration an email with your registration information (full name, email, badge name, etc) and the registration information of the new recipient. We will send a confirmation to both you and the recipient of your membership.

OK, SO I'M REGISTERED. NOW WHAT?

Celebrate! NYFB is just around the corner. Not only did you save money by registering online, but you saved yourself precious time at the convention. Your confirmation email will arrive soon. Remember, whether you registered online or registering at the door, you must present a government issued photo ID to pick up your badge.

I HAVE PURCHASED A MEMBERSHIP AND WOULD LIKE TO UPGRADE. IS THIS POSSIBLE?

Sponsorship is an early registration only perk. If you registered early and would like to upgrade your membership before early registration closes on December 14th please contact registration via email at registration@thefurststate.com. We do not offer membership upgrades on-site.

I have a rollover from last year, what do I need to do?

If you requested to rollover by our deadline, you’re already good to go.
If you would like to check for a rollover / get another confirmation with your new QR code you can do so by clicking here.
Have a good con!

Can I request a mail-in badge?

For an additional fee, we will mail your badge to you! These badges will be specially marked for authenticity and require no further verification from our staff. No lines, no fuss, get right into convention activities!!

Mailed badges will come with a tracking number to make sure that they arrive. Any badges that become lost will be replaced UP TO our badge mail-out cutoff on November 30th.

IF YOU DO NOT HAVE YOUR MAILED BADGE ON SITE AND REQUIRE A REPLACEMENT, THERE WILL BE AN ADDITIONAL FEE OF $20
