Nearly 10,000 fans will get a taste of the Capital One Cup for free this season, thanks to a brand new “buy one get one free” offer for Rounds 1 and 2 of the competition.

Capital One, the credit card company and sponsors of The Football League Cup, are giving fans of participating home clubs the chance to claim an additional match ticket for free when purchasing their own ticket.

The Capital One +1 promotion will be running across Rounds 1 and 2 of the Capital One Cup 2013/14, with special codes live in local radio and newspaper media from 8th July. Supporters can claim their free ticket by quoting the code when purchasing their ticket from the club box office.

Michael Woodburn, Chief Marketing Officer at Capital One, added: “At Capital One we are delighted to announce what we feel is a brilliant offer for fans, allowing around 10,000 supporters to attend a Round 1 or Round 2 fixture for free. Last season’s competition provided incredible drama and storylines on the pitch, and now we’re thrilled to help so many fans enjoy the start of another great journey in the Capital One Cup.”
