If you visit the mountainous areas of the west and north you can expect more rainfall than in central parts of Britain. The biggest sales take place in January, when bargain-hungry shoppers have been known to queue all night outside London's biggest department stores in the hope of snapping up drastically reduced goods. Wiser shoppers wait until the end of January, when there may be a smaller choice of bargains, but often the prices have been reduced even further for clearance. Other sales take place at the end of spring and summer, when there re reduced prices on out of season goods, although it is always best to check with individual stores first. Contact the arena or theatre where the event is taking place for advice on ticket sales.
Many venues list a ticket sales hotline on the telephone directory.
By dialling this number you can order tickets and pay for them by credit card.
