A Bridgerton ball held in the US has been compared to Glasgow’s disastrous Willy Wonka Experience after the event failed to live up to expectations.Fans of the hit Netflix show turned up expecting a night of old style opulence in Michigan, Detroit.Guests were promised live music, elegant backdrops and an immersion into the world of Bridgerton.Frustrations had already been expressed when the event was rescheduled from August to Sunday after the original venue cancelled their contract with organisers due to safety concerns.Those who ended up attending the event at the city’s Harmonie Club at the weekend are calling it a "royal disaster".

The event was originally planned to host 3,000 guests, with tickets ranging between $150 and $1,000.Unable to get a refund, many still attended the rescheduled event even if they were reluctant to do so."We didn't actually get an email saying the event was cancelled, so we actually showed up all dressed up and everything," Seana Schade, who attended the ball, told CBS.Schade said she only stayed for about an hour after seeing the reality of the event."Just because it was too hot and we obviously weren't going to be getting any food or drinks," she said.Another attendee posted her immediate reaction to TikTok after the "ball" turned out to be a "bust". "Are we at the club or are we at a ball?" asked Nita Morton in her TikTok post.Guests had been promised live music, elegant backdrops and an immersion into the world of "Bridgerton". "This was the only person playing live music," Morton said while showing a video of a single violinist. "There were three floors — three floors.“I saw her maybe like twice throughout this whole time."Doesn't this look like something your cousin had at her baby
