Our residential registration lottery window is now CLOSED.

With the closure of this, our registration team are now temporarily fully closing the registration system. This means no changes can currently be made, and no additional non-residential registrations can be submitted ... but this will re-open in the coming weeks. Keep an eye out for an announcement when this happens.

The results of the residential lottery will be forthcoming in due course - please bear with us whilst we validate and check all the submissions, and we'll let you know as soon as we can.

If you have questions, please contact registration@confuzzled.org.uk

Hello everyone!

Weโ€™re wanting to announce that we have now sent out the emails to let everyone know of their residential registration lottery result.

If you canโ€™t see it, follow these instructions to find it:

+ Check your junk mail
+ Check your โ€˜Newsletterโ€™ or โ€˜Other Inboxโ€™ section - you may need to actually visit your email providerโ€™s web app to see these or, in your mail client it may be in a different folder.

If you are using any special email filtering tools or processes, please note that the emails we have sent today are coming from Mailchimp, a mass-mailing system that most businesses would use for marketing or newsletters. Please check your email filters just in case our message got caught.

The news youโ€™ll receive today will fall into one of three categories:

1: You (and any room share partner) secured a Hilton room, and got your first choice (including any early/late days requested).
2: You (and any room share partner) secured a Crowne Plaza (overflow) room (including any early/late days requested).
3: You were unsuccessful in securing any room type, and are now on the โ€˜waiting listโ€™.

Your specific email will outline what the next steps are. We are now going to be moving forward with formally approving your registration, and then requesting payment. You wonโ€™t get that email right away, but stand-by, it will be coming soon.

IMPORTANT: Until you receive this second email, your registration will not yet show as approved in the registration system. Please wait for this second email - this will be your notification that your registration has been formally approved.

The registration system will go live again on Tuesday 10th October - at this stage you will once again be able to modify your registration (some limitations apply). You can also once more upload badge and fursuit pictures.

When registration goes live, youโ€™ll also once more be able to register for non-residential and day-tickets. Note that these registrations are subject to availability.

NEW PAYMENT INFO: As you know, we accept payment by bank transfer. New for this year, we are requesting that all attendees use a unique payment reference code that will be shown to you in the payment section of the registration system. Using this will ensure your registration gets processed and marked as paid faster.

In the event that you have been offered an option you donโ€™t want, then you can simply โ€˜ignoreโ€™ any payment request and your registration will be automatically cancelled.

For option 3 above: we know that not getting a room is very disappointing. Unfortunately, there is finite space available in our official hotels. For now, our best advice is to wait and see if any non-payment cancellations free up some additional room spaces.

In the meantime, if you have questions, or wish to make changes to your registration, please contact registration@confuzzled.org.uk

Good News Everyone!

Approval emails for CFz 2024 are starting tonight so please check your inboxes.

We have a new reference system for payments and we need everyone to be confirmed before this will become active so please check your spam and junk folders.

Registration remains closed at this time for changes but will be open shortly after we are able to complete the residential lottery confirmations.

Approvals are done by hand so please sit tight and we will be open as soon as we can.

Once registration is re-opened we will put out another message letting you all know!

Registration is re-open!

You should now be able to follow the instructions on your approval e-mails and pay your fee.
Please note the new reference for your bank payment on the payment page.
This will allow us to confirm your payment against your account much quicker than before!

Registration is also now re-open for day tickets and non-residential tickets (subject to availability).
โค30๐ŸŽ‰14๐Ÿ‘1๐Ÿ˜ฑ1
The registration system should now be fully back online! This means we're once again open for non-residential and day-ticket registrations (Subject to availability).

For those making payments, please be patient whilst awaiting final acknowledgement - our team are volunteers and it might take a little while for us to process and apply the 'Paid' status to your registration.

Also, if you missed out on a room in our lottery, you can switch to non-residential by contacting registration@confuzzled.org.uk - you'll still remain on the waiting list, and you don't need to make a fresh registration.

Hi everyone! "Payment accepted" emails have started to go out now. These are sent out manually by a team of volunteers, so it may take a few days for it to appear on your account. Don't panic! If you've paid and the status hasn't updated, please wait a few days before contacting Registration.
๐Ÿ‘33โค28๐ŸŽ‰13๐Ÿ‘1
We know some of you are still waiting to see your payment status update in the system.

Our team are working to get the payments processed as fast as possible. Rest assured, if you have paid, your registration is safe.

Dealers Den Update! Registration for the Den has seen unprecedented demand and we are already sold out of tables, and therefore need to close until further notice. This has happened far faster than anticipated so we're really sorry if you didn't get through.

There may still be some availability once current applications have been processed - but these would be subject to availability

Applications for our Pop-Up Shops will open as expected on December 1st!

Dealers Den Announcement

Hello Dealers,

We just wanted to reach out to update you about current den applications. We know our last message caused a bit of confusion for which we want to apologise and help straighten things up for you.

The den team are busy reviewing all applications for the den this year, if you have not heard back from them yet do not worry.

As you will know from our previous message the den saw very high demand and we are doing our best to ensure all applicants are dealt with fairly and are reviewed fully by the den team. 

As we are working through these in blocks you may see other dealers talking about their responses while you may be waiting for one. Rest assured we will get to you.

We know it is taking a little longer than usual but the den team will respond to you.

We just ask for a bit more patience while we work through them all.

Many thanks and have a great weekend.

ConFuzzled has no control over these adverts, are not affiliated with the advertisers, and we certainly aren't making any money off them!
