In the United States, a "sales event" is a period of time during which a merchant offers a special deal or bargain, and puts out advertising and special store decorations as if it were a festival or a holiday.
"Come in any time during our July 4th weekend sales event. Bring your kids for free ice cream. Uncle Sam will be there in costume, and the Middletown High School Marching Band will perform from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Enter your name for a chance to win a $50 gift certificate."
In English, one meaning of the word "event" is a party, a festival, or a convention: "Sally's Bridal offers complete planning services for your wedding event."

The sale is the event. The '100th sale' and the 'more than £100' you are describing, are individual characteristics of the sale.
