MIDDLESBROUGH fans will be able to watch the Carabao Cup third round tie at Bradford City for just a fiver.

Bradford and Boro agreed on the cut-price ticket offer for the clash, which takes place on Tuesday, September 26 (7.45pm).

Boro have received an allocation of 4,000 tickets for the tie, which will go on sale to supporters with 160 or more loyalty points on Thursday, September 7.

Remaining tickets will go on sale as follows:

  • 140+ points: 10am, Friday 8 September
  • 70+ points: 12 noon, Friday 8 September
  • 33+ points: 3pm, Friday 8 September
  • General sale: 10am, Monday 11 September

Admission on the gate will revert to normal matchday prices at Bradford, but Boro's away allocation is almost certain to sell-out well in advance.

Home and away tickets bought in advance will be £5 across all categories.

Bradford chief executive Ryan Sparks said: “We are delighted to be able to offer heavily discounted tickets for what is a massive cup clash against Championship opposition.

“We pride ourselves on accessibility and hope this deal will enable as many Bradfordians as possible to turn out for what should be a great occasion.

“Our football club will always have a special connection with the League Cup and, of course, this is the first time we have appeared in its third round for almost a decade.

“To celebrate, in what are challenging economic times, ourselves and Middlesbrough have agreed to make this fixture as affordable as possible for home and away supporters.

“We have had some incredible cup crowds at Valley Parade over the years, and it would be fantastic to see another packed-out attendance of over 20,000, while hopefully booking our place in round four for the first time since that memorable 2012/13 season.”
