Lantern Festival UK is selling tickets for gatherings in Birmingham and London over the next three months at which people will be allowed to release fire lanterns into the night sky.
Revellers have demanded refunds on tickets they bought for a lantern festival advertised online - amid claims the event is a 'social media scam'.
However, there has been a backlash online with people demanding refunds on their tickets amid allegations the entire event is a 'scam', with some comparing it to the infamous Fyre Festival and Glasgow Willy Wonka Experience. There was no sign of the firm at the office listed as its business address in London today - with staff from Brewdog, which has an office in the same building - telling MailOnline they had 'never heard' of the company behind the festival.However, its refund policy then goes on to state that 'all ticket sales are deemed as final transactions' and there 'there will be no ticket returns/exchanges/cancellations'.
Organisers of the event have used promo images from other lantern gatherings, such as the Yi Peng Festival in Thailand One such video showed a woman releasing a fire lantern only to look down and find her boyfriend on one knee proposing to her, while another portrayed dramatic fireworks being set off in the background.
No specific locations have been given for any of the four events, with the website just claiming they will take place in London and Birmingham. The web page claims further details will be announced on April 20. One advert claims that those attending can expect to find a 'fun fair and entertainment' as well as food trucks, although the specific details of what this entails are in short supply.
Among those is Birmingham City Council, where two of the events are purported to be taking place, while a number of London councils have also done this, including local authorities in Ealing, Lambeth, Lewisham, Merton, Redbridge and Wandsworth. One X user wrote: 'I purchased two tickets for the lantern festival and everyone's saying it's a scam, are you joking me? I've been so excited for this.'
On its website Lantern Festival claims all tickets are returnable within '15 days' but then says it reserves the right to 'not issue any refunds' if the event is cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances
