> Pay the non-refundable deposit today and the remaining balance in installments
  • If you choose to pay the non-refundable deposit with the balance in installments, you must "set up your account" through the link in the ticket purchase confirmation email. This is a FREE Regfox account.
  • If you purchase for yourself AND someone else and choose to pay the non-refundable deposit with the balance in installments, only YOU can make the installment payments. 
  • If you do not want to make the payments for the other person(s), you (or they) must purchase separately with THEIR name, email, etc., PLUS their own payment card information. They will then receive a confirmation email with a link to "Set Up Your Account" with Regfox. Once they do this, they can make payments through their account.
  • If you choose to pay the non-refundable deposit, you will notice this statement: "The remaining balance will be automatically charged on August 1, 2025". What does this mean? If you do not make any payments between the time you purchase your ticket and July 31, 2025, your card will be automatically charged for the balance on August 1, 2025. In addition, if you do make installment payments between the time you purchase your ticket and July 31, 2025, any remaining balance will be charged automatically on August 1, 2025.

A Note About Sales Tax Collection

North Carolina law requires the collection of a sales tax on all ticketed "entertainment-type" events that take place in NC and require an admission fee (NCGS 105-164.4G). The general sales tax rate for the State of North Carolina is 4.75%, and the sales tax rate for Wilkes County (where the Homecoming is held) is 2.25%, for a total of 7%. 

If you choose the non-refundable deposit/balance in installments option, please note that the total sales tax due on the ticket price is collected in advance, and you will not be charged any additional sales tax on future installments/payments.

EXAMPLE: Let's say you choose the $400 (or $200 Spring Offer) deposit option. Your sales tax will be calculated on the $1359 ticket price LESS any discounts you chose—NOT on the deposit. Outlander North Carolina LLC will remit the TOTAL sales tax amount collected to the NCDOR for the same month it is collected. 

If you opt-in to Purchase Protection* and must cancel for a qualifying reason, you will be refunded the amount you have paid for your ticket PLUS ALL sales tax paid in advance.

*Purchase Protection is a third-party not affiliated with Outlander North Carolina LLC.

Fraser's Ridge is a fictional location used in Diana Gabaldon's books. It does not actually exist except in the minds of fans. The location of Fraser's Ridge Homecoming was chosen because of its resemblance to what ONC believes Fraser's Ridge might have looked like in the real world.

FRH is for adults 18 years of age or older.

Payments in installments are welcome after payment of the non-refundable deposit.

The remaining ticket balance is due in full BY JULY 31, 2025.

I agree to indemnify and hold harmless Outlander North Carolina LLC against any and all claims, suits or actions of any kind whatsoever for liability, damages, compensation or otherwise brought by me or anyone on my behalf, including attorney's fees and any related costs, if litigation arises pursuant to any claims made by me or by anyone else acting on my behalf.
