Rochdale launches Carabao Cup ticket sales for Bradford City tie
Rochdale announced that tickets for the first‑round Carabao Cup match at Bradford City are on sale, giving season ticket holders a 48‑hour priority window before the general public can purchase. The allocation of 3,909 seats sits in the Bradford Lifts Stand, accessed via turnstiles E7‑E12, and all tickets will be digital.
How can fans secure a seat?
Current season ticket holders must act fast on the club’s ticketing portal, where a HERE link directs them to the purchase page. After the priority period ends on Wednesday 5th at 12 pm, tickets will be released to the wider fan base. Online sales remain open until 4 pm on Friday, and on‑the‑day card payments are accepted at the away turnstiles, subject to availability.
What are the pricing and travel options?
Ticket prices are listed on the club’s website, and the Rochdale Supporters Trust has arranged a coach service to Valley Parade. Fans can book a seat by emailing travel@daletrust.co.uk; the coach departs at 12 pm and costs £15 per person, offering a convenient and affordable way to travel with fellow supporters.
Why does this matter for Rochdale supporters?
The Carabao Cup provides an early‑season test against a higher‑league opponent, and a strong turnout can boost morale and revenue. With the match set for the upcoming weekend, securing tickets now ensures fans can be part of the atmosphere that often fuels a good performance. The club’s proactive ticketing strategy also demonstrates a commitment to fan engagement ahead of the league campaign.
