New York City fans slam ticket farce during Toronto game

New York City FC fans were up in arms after new ticketing measures caused chaos during the Major League Soccer game against Toronto FC on Sunday.

While Andrea Pirlo and his teammates played out an exciting 2-2 draw against Toronto FC at the Yankee Stadium, some fans were left stranded outside the stadium trying to get in.

A David Villa brace for New York gave the home team a two-goal cushion, only for the visitors to hit back through Damien Perguis and former Juventus playmaker Sebastian Giovinco.

NYCFC, who share the ground with Major League Baseball side New York Yankees, announced on Friday that paper tickets, would no longer be accepted at the gates.
