Well, the main conference halls are on the current side. However, there are conference rooms in the new tower too, which we may need to use because the panel rooms on the current side are limited, so the con will definitely be more spread out.

I guess it is too early to talk about the new Tower yet, since they haven't begun construction yet. But it is definitely on the map for the future.

True, there is a flip side to every coin. But hey, if furries can't trust each other to some extent, why have a conference at all? I think we have to try to ask people to be honest about having a fursuit or not. Undoubtedly, there will be a number of cheaters. Well, maybe we need to make a wall of shame for those who get busted. Or we just have to make a number of extremely ugly fursuits they will have to wear during the entire con. :D

There are positive reasons for not having a room in the Estrel too. Many hotels are a lot cheaper and I know furs who don't even try the Estrel for that reason. Furthermore, a group of furs can agree to get the same hotel, so they have quality time together as well. Small hotels are probably a lot cozier than the 1000+ Estrel.

Hai λ:
Please remember that this is a furry convention encompassing many forms of art and socializing, and not a fursuiting show. Have a heart, there will not be such a room privilege just because someone has a fursuit. o_O

RedFoxy:
Only a question, EuroFurence isn't the only furcon in the world an it isn't the biggest one, how uncle kage solve that troubles with Anthrocon? the are bigger than us, there is a furry flood attack at booking engine and ticket selling too or they solve it? and MFF? and other?

--- Quote from: Sam T. Housecat on 17.01.2017, 12:32:50 ---- Batch 2: fursuiters! Generally only 25% of all furs is a fursuiter. However, they have to carry quite a load around, which is unpractical if you have to move through a city for a number of kilometers.

Besides that it's impossible to tell whether all who have checked the fursuiter box during registration are actually fursuiters (let alone that they're going to bring and wear a fursuit at the convention), this won't work for another reason: nearly 46% of all registered attendees have checked that box, more than the number of guest rooms at the Estrel. Even though many fursuiters are having an other fursuiter as a room mate, this probably might have worked this year, but certainly not with the projected number of attendees for next EF.

We're stuck with the reservation rush room lottery, I'm afraid. Let's hope it won't take six hours again next year.
