Capital One Cup Offers Fans Euro Exchange
AFC Bournemouth and Capital One are helping Cherries fans dashing back from their summer holidays in time for tonight’s Capital One Cup first round clash with Portsmouth by making a number of tickets available to purchase at the gate with Euros.
Research by the League Cup sponsor claims that almost half (47%) of AFC Bournemouth match goers have cut their holiday short to make it back in time for kick off.
In a football first, the club and Capital One have teamed together to ensure their fans won’t have to make a stop at the Bureau de Change on route to the Goldsands Stadium. Adults will be able to pay €14, concessions €9 and U16’s €7 to watch the cup match.
The research showed that nationally 43% of fans who regularly attend games will book their holidays with the football calendar in mind, while 41% of fans said they’ve taken a whole day out of their holiday to enjoy a game.
Liz Finney, AFC Bournemouth general manager, said: ‘We know at AFC Bournemouth a lot of our fans will be cutting it fine to make it back from their holidays in time for the game. Now they can spend their left over holiday money on watching a great game of football.’
Michael Woodburn, chief marketing officer at Capital One, added: ‘We know that there will be a number of AFC Bournemouth fans rushing straight back from holiday for the club’s Capital One Cup fixture with Portsmouth, hopefully this will make their life easier and mean they don’t have to miss out on what promises to be an exciting football match.’
