The event, billed as a “Bridgerton” evening with dinner, dancing and games, is being compared to the doomed Fyre Festival and disastrous Willy Wonka experience earlier this year.

I attended a friends ball in London back in 2012 and I remember, the family paid 500 euros for my ticket. I was her escort and let me tell you, IT WAS A FCKING BALL! I think I just spent a good thirty minutes looking like a dunce, just staring at the venue. Those recessed ceilings and stucco walls, I felt like a country hick who'd just stepped out to the city.
@francelowlander
Woke did it….
@RoseEastyy1
I've been to balls in the UK and they're in beautiful grand halls in london and don't cost that much way over priced
@jacobwilliams6365
They wanted to see Bridgerton, but ended up seeing Detroit.
@manee101

@WhitExNoodlE
There needs to be laws around this… event organizers have no talent and no shame
@Marriedintheislands
This sounds like a fake event…….completely disorganized
@egoeimi333
P.T. Barnum: "There's a fool born every minute." Old saying: "Look before you leap." BIBLE: " A fool and his (her) money are soon parted." I don't feel bad for these women because they needed to do some simple investigation about this before spending time and money.
@lorihoop3831
Well, they got their pictures.🙄
@ReadMachiavelli-gi3wk
The good news? Kwame Kilpatrick didn’t hire the dancer. This one got to leave the party.
@Stars4Hearts
I noticed … n the middle of the ball room dance floor… there was a poll. A stripper poll.
@ReadMachiavelli-gi3wk
I hope one of the women has a brother in Belmont who going to collect some refunds.
@germel1155
😂😂
@vamphunt666
A fool and money
@user-dr2yz8um3d
Why is there such a trend for events like this happening and disappointing so many people?
@StephenSJN
Seems like some more "Rich" people got taken advantage of, What do you expect for $100 bucks these days? The price should've told you something. Got people Paying more for a horse and buggy, and outfit, The the actual ticket cost… Explain that lol. Y'all got what you paid for.
@ChrisCupcake3
first world problems
@sarahj.5440
What do you expect for a $100 ticket!
@darcel21ify
Wow I was gonna compare those 2!😅
@AmericanTeacher-USA
Seems this generation of Americans is, very sadly, incredibly gullible. Did no one do any due diligence ? Research ?
Did anyone attempt prior contact with this very sketchy company ?
Had they any prior business reputation ? SMH 😖
@PrincessCashmonie
Should have went to Hunger Games. They would have treated you better.
@VB-fo1oc
I’m sorry but the words Bridgerton and Detroit do NOT belong together 😅😂
@pacoceja4659
LOL
@antileilani
It’s the Willy Wonka event in Scotland all over again. 😭🤣
