Capital One Cup: Derby County Lead the Way

The draw for the second round of the Capital One Cup was made last week and threw up some interesting ties.

While Manchester United's visit to MK Dons won't need any reduced prices, judging by the queue for tickets when they went on sale, plenty of clubs have already announced special offers.

Derby County, always on the ball with affordable offers for their supporters, have cut prices to £5 for season ticket holders and £7 for other adults when they host Charlton Athletic on Tuesday 26 August. Under-16's can attend for just £1.

Much of the focus on the cost of watching Premier League football this season has fallen on London clubs such as West Ham United but the Hammers did offer plenty of concessions for cup ties last year and have done so again for the visit of Sheffield United.

Adults, Under-21's and Over-65's can attend for £10 if tickets are purchased in advance while Under-16's tickets are priced at £5.

Watford host Doncaster Rovers and tickets are priced at £10 for adults, £5 for young adults (16-19), students and over-65's. Under-16's tickets are just £1.

Under-16's tickets for Aston Villa's home tie with Leyton Orient are all priced at £5 with adult tickets in the North Stand/Family Stand costing £10.
