For fans of Bridgerton, the chance to get all dressed up in Regency finery and dance the night away sounded like a wonderful idea.
With tickets ranging from $150 to $500, the event organizers promised a play, classical music, dancing, an elegant meal, and a chance to pick the ‘Diamond of the Season’ (the most eligible woman for the Ton’s season).
Said one disgruntled attendee who is fighting for her money back:
“There was gonna be a play and they were gonna pick Diamond of the season. They were gonna give away all of these prizes and we went in and it was completely empty in there. There is nothing going on. They have a pole in the middle of the dance floor. A stripper pole in the middle of the dance floor.”
“THE STRIPPER THO??? AT A THING THEMED AROUND A SHOW SET IN THE 1700s????” one person wrote, another added: “The lone stripper dancing to a single violinist is sad yet hilarious.”
“Oh, this p***es me off so badly for all of you,” someone else commented. “Especially as someone who regularly attends Georgian and Regency balls. These kinds of events CAN be done! And for MUCH less than $300/person.
The event was NOT sanctioned by Netflix or the show.
