Bridgerton Fans In US Paid Hundreds To Attend Dance Ball Based On Netflix Show, But They Say It Was A "Scam"

The organizer of the event, Uncle N Me LLC, released a statement claiming "full responsibility and accountability" for the debacle.

Fans of the Netflix show 'Bridgerton' have been left outraged after they arrived at a "Bridgerton Ball experience" to find undercooked food, no dancing and a lone violinist. According to Forbes, the Bridgerton-themed ball, organised by a Detroit event management business, promised to be an "evening of sophistication, grace and historical charm" featuring a costume contest that would award the best-dressed attendee a $2,000 cash prize, classical music, a theatrical show and the naming of a "Diamond of the Season," as happens in the Netflix show. Some fans had even paid $250 for a "Duke and Duchess" package, including valet service, dinner and music. However, the reality was quite different and so was the event.  Thread about the Bridgerton Ball SCAM in Detroit that I (and hundreds of others) spent $300 on pic.twitter.com/EUgX482w8j

According to Forbes, fans who dressed up in extravagant ball gowns to attend the Bridgerton Ball were disappointed to find a royal mess of a party with shabby decor, no seating, and little food. They claimed that they paid hundreds of dollars for tickets for a "scam event" that was pushed back at the last minute and featured none of the promised elements. 

Some fans even claimed that the event consisted of backdrops that looked like they were from the "dollar store" and, in place of the beautiful string quartet symphonies heard in the show, was a lone violinist, who played in the corner of a room without accompaniment.
