Annnnndโฆ we have Sold Out for Friday & Saturday nights for the #iFC2026 Room Block! ๐ฎโ๐จ
BUT, this does not mean that all hope is lost!!! ๐ฅบ๐
Please stay connected via our Announcements Channel (https://t.me/IndyFurCon) and keep an eye on the Reservation Link (https://indyfurcon.org/hotel/) in the coming days/weeks for more information and updates as they might become available!
Now I am convinced the selling out was a surprise. Which got me thinking, maybe it was because of the new hotel. Let’s be honest IFC hasn’t got the greatest pick of hotels in the past. But now being at the Hyatt Regency Indianapolis. Finally convinced others they should finally go. It is a lovely hotel and those balconies are going to be insane. I saw an example at FM but theirs is tiny. The one at the Hyatt is HUGE.
Also if your going and your worried about food and restaurants. They are going to have a lounge where you can grab a snack and the neighborhood is packed with restaurants of all price ranges
EXTRA
Did hear back from IFC it seems the Hotel Block sold out within 45 minutes
If you click on 3 links on Indy Fur Con’s site you discover the Not Available
The only real facts I know between when it opened and when I got home from work 6 hours later it was SOLD OUT
To me both honest and fair I have no idea how many rooms were apart of the Block. But this honestly surprised me. I have used Hotel Block at the smaller cons I have attended for years. Have not had a single issue. One I even waited 6 days before getting a room as still was able to be apart of that Hotel Block. But to be sold out in under 6 hours. You honestly expect them at Bigger cons, not the small ones.
If I start guessing about attendance that is speculation which I don’t want to get into. Maybe it is the new hotel?!!! Only time will tell.
FOR THE RECORD
I already got my room, the Hyatt Rewards Program gave me a slight discount. But still it’s the most I ever paid for a hotel room at a fur con. I also got my bus tickets all totaled just over $1000
Did send am email to IFC just stated to facts. If anything happens will let you know.
๐ Instructions (Expand Using Arrow): 1) Log-In/Sign-Up in iFCโs Registration Portal (ConCat): https://reg.indyfurcon.org/
๐ Dealer’s Application: Slight Process Change
โ ๏ธ You will no longer need to Pre-Register for iFC 2026 before the Dealer’s Application. This will NOT be a requirement to complete the Application to be a Dealer. If you have already applied, this will NOT impact your status/application. You will still need to Register to attend and deal (if accepted) for iFC 2026
Multiple restaurants both at the hotel, but also in walking distance from the hotel. That includes a gas station and retail location 4 blocks away
So what might attendees expect? 3 floors of con space, which according to Hyatt is huge. There are actual escalators between floors. Although it is too much to say right now all of that is going to be used,
I know the Wyndham had issues, but this it like upgrading from a Yugo to a Mercedes.
All I can say for now is Furry Times will be there and reporting on everything right through the convention.
