The Detroit Bridgerton-themed ball, which was not affiliated with Netflix, has drawn outrage from attendees who found the event to be poorly executed and disappointing. Promised elements such as a sophisticated dining experience, Regency-era dancing, and a chance to be crowned 'Diamond of the Season' were notably absent, with many reporting raw food and the presence of a pole dancer instead. Ticket prices ranged from $150 to $1,000, yet many attendees felt cheated, citing inadequate food, lack of entertainment, and a stark difference from what was advertised. Social media is flooded with complaints, as attendees describe being bored and frustrated, with some demanding refunds. The organizers, Uncle n Me LLC, have not offered refunds or explanations for the event's failures, leading some to consider legal action. The event's reception has been compared to infamous failures like the Fyre Festival, highlighting vast discrepancies between expectation and reality.
