You might have noticed this already, where cons have gone from a pre made badges to one made on site. To what happened at IFC and many larger cons. Have pre made card with all the important info. Then attach a label both with your status and fursona name.
Nobody really likes waiting and furries stuck in line frankly complain the most. Let me remind you the longest wait I ever hard at MFF was 7 hours. Although I have heard longer times like 12+ but could not confirm them. Frankly it’s just plain cheaper to have the badges pre made. A simple search can give you the costs.
Speaking of which did you know that an ID Badge Maker starts at $995. The last MFF they had at least 7 of these. You have to admit that is a lot of $$$.
A con can literally go broke. Like what happened at Capital City Fur Con. Now called Capital Con and believe me I wish them them the best and a really good accountant.
WE all know things are getting more and more expensive. Right now there is no price difference between a fast casual restaurant and McDonald’s It’s still going to cost you $15 for a burger and fries.
With cons getting bigger and bigger and bigger Yes I mean than 20,000+ at Anthrocon.
We honestly have to let things go. But lets not hope for what happened at Anime Midwest One Year. A paper badge, they did include a badge holder and laynard.
One day we are going to miss special times
