If you happen to arrive after registration has closed on Friday or Saturday, you can come to our Con Operations to purchase a temporary badge. You will be asked to fill out a form, read over the Code of Conduct, and pay $20.00 for a night badge. Even if you are pre-registered, you will be asked to pay this amount. The next day, when registration is open, you may bring your night badge back to registration and either collect the twenty dollars if you have pre-registered or use the twenty dollars as a credit to purchase a full badge. Please don't lose the badge as credit or refund will not be given if it is lost. Also, no refund or credit will be given for the purchase of a daily badge.

If you lose your badge, you may request a reprint of your badge for a fee of $20. If you happen to find your original badge within 24 hours of requesting the reprint, you may return the reprinted badge to receive your $20 back.

If there is absolutely no way you can register online, please contact us and we will see what we can do to accommodate you.​

Not at all, if you will only be attending for one day, there is no need to pre-register. Just come to the registration table at the convention and we'll be more than happy to provide you with a single-day membership.

Of course not! All you have to do is come to the convention registration area, pay your membership fees, and then you can have fun and enjoy the convention and all it has to offer. Although you won’t get the nifty pre-registration discount, we're still happy to have you, and welcome you to Gateway Furmeet.

Confirmation emails are sent to all attendees when they register, if you have registered and have not yet received a confirmation, please contact us by sending an email inquiring about the status of your registration. Note that if you registered online and your registration is shown to be confirmed, you are in our database and ready to go.

We will be happy to issue refunds until one week after the convention (October 12th, 2025). Please email your request to registration@gatewayfurmeet.org.

Now you get to relax knowing you saved money by pre-registering, and also that you have saved yourself time at the convention. When you pre reg you don't have to wait in extremely long lines to pick up your badge, there is an area just for you when you get to the con. Please remember that whether you pre reg or register at the door, you MUST present a government-issued photo ID to receive a badge.

You can upgrade your membership online or at the convention.

Once at the convention, bring your current badge and ID with you to the at the door registration line and we’ll be happy to print you a new badge.

Sorry but the answer to that is no. For security reasons, we will only issue one badge per person. Many of the artists in attendance would be happy to create as many badges for you as you like. We recommend visiting and checking them out in the Artist's Alley and the Dealer's Den.
