Anthrocon 2024 #Numbers

Ahmar Wolf

There it is and 100% official

Attendance jumped by over 2,000

and see that fursuit parade number that beats what Anthrocon attendance from 2007, as well as beats what most cons get

I know there has been talk of where the new furries are coming from. But both AC and FWA where both saw a significant increase in numbers. I think we have our answer, I have no doubt that MFF will beat that number, the only question is by how much.

Let me give you a little insider info.

There are already hotels in the Rosemont area that are booked solid for MFF, and yes I know it’s July 8th. The same thing happened at AC, but I heard when they opened the hotel block. That those were the only rooms available at that hotel, the rest were booked solid.

It’s like I have always said, booking your own room ahead of time, is the only way you guarantee that you actually have a room.

One more thing… AirBnBs sold out at AC before the event. MFF they are available, at least the last time I checked.

You know this will only get worse as time marches on.

Anthrocon 2024 Thursday Rush

Ahmar Wolf

CBS reported on the total mess that was Anthrocon Thursday was

Crazy line times, like this one woman waiting 8 1/2 hours and still not getting their badge.

I know everyone wants to get their badge ASAP. But all these excessive wait times are not good for anyone. Personally I would have gone back the next day.

HUGS to everyone who did

Anthrocon 2024 Update

Ahmar Wolf

Besides the sword attack

Reports have been posted on social media of up to a 9 HOUR WAIT IN LINE With many and I do mean as in going around the block, as there are literally dozens of reports that more than confirm it. With some waiting all that time and never got in.

Meanwhile inside

With one local TV station already reporting 15,500 which in my opinion is an understatement.

Seriously Anthrocon uses the same system of QR codes for pre reg as MFF and they were able to handle roughly 1000 per hour.

In my opinion the numbers will be HUGE
