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.

"Kim. People are dying."
Organizers are a LLC..good luck. They are going to stiff everyone
Event Planner: We need a "Ball dancer" for tonight.
Dancer: A pole Dancer?
Event Planner: Yes, a ball dancer. Come at 5.
Dancer: OMW!
Eh, the Willy wonka fiasco in Scotland still tops it
Sad but funny too
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.
Woke did it….
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
They wanted to see Bridgerton, but ended up seeing Detroit.
😂😂😂😂
„A busted ball“ 😂
Bunch of dorks anyway
Let me guess. No refunds?
They wanted Bridgerton they gave them projecton 🤭
Pole dancing 😂😂😂😂
They got Wonka'd!
It’s Dashcon all over again
I haven’t watched bridgerton – is there even pole dancing 😂😂😂
it's a world of fake.
There needs to be laws around this… event organizers have no talent and no shame
This sounds like a fake event…….completely disorganized
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.
Well, they got their pictures.🙄
The good news? Kwame Kilpatrick didn’t hire the dancer. This one got to leave the party.
I noticed … n the middle of the ball room dance floor… there was a poll. A stripper poll.
I hope one of the women has a brother in Belmont who going to collect some refunds.
😂😂
A fool and money
Why is there such a trend for events like this happening and disappointing so many people?
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.
first world problems
What do you expect for a $100 ticket!
Wow I was gonna compare those 2!😅
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 😖
Should have went to Hunger Games. They would have treated you better.
I’m sorry but the words Bridgerton and Detroit do NOT belong together 😅😂
LOL
It’s the Willy Wonka event in Scotland all over again. 😭🤣
How about those fake gun shots you guys used to make that innocent man suffer????????????? FAKE NEWS!!
not news which is why this station is going bye-bye
Oh my god
