The Yankees recently changed their ticket policies and no longer accept print-at-home tickets.

NYCFC, which plays at Yankee Stadium, announced Friday that the team would no longer accept paper tickets, but the policy would be phased in.

The change--shockingly--led to chaos at Sunday's NYCFC game.

It wasn't long ago that the Yankees' additional security checks at the gates angered fans who had to funnel through a handful of open gates.
