On Twitter, one fan revealed the disaster they faced when attending the “ Bridgerton Ball” in Detroit, Michigan, on Sunday (September 22).

The Netflix-inspired event is drawing comparisons to the infamous Willy Wonka experience fiasco earlier this year.

Fans paid $300 for a "Bridgerton Themed Ball" expecting a luxurious Regency-era experience but were left disappointed by a disorganized event with shabby decor, little food, no seating, and minimal entertainment.
