Bradford held on for a hard-fought point at Valley Parade after playing most of the game with 10 men. Dean Windass was sent-off for the Bantams after 13 minutes, following a two-footed tackle on Neil Young.
But the Cherries, who have failed to record a league win since 9 September, failed to capitalise.
Stephen Purches and Danny Hollands were both denied by Bradford keeper Donovan Ricketts before Jermaine Johnson almost won it for the hosts with 20-yard shot.
