Parents whose teenage children want to enjoy a popular night out will find buying tickets to the event easier from now on.

The latest of the 12 to 16-year-old disco "club culture" at Ikon & Diva at Clifton Moor, York, takes place on Tuesday, May 29. Tickets went on sale today, and will be available every day, except Sunday, between noon and 5pm up until the evening of the event. For the first time credit cards can be used.

Jonathon Guest, from Ikon & Diva, said parents had been "struggling" to go in person to buy tickets for their children before they finished work, and the credit card scheme was intended to help them.

The plastic option will only be available today, tomorrow and Wednesday.

The telephone booking line is 01904 693999.

Tickets are £5 each, and there will be a 50p booking charge if paying over the phone by credit card.
