SIGN UP No team in World Series history has ever come back from a 3-0 series deficit to win the championship. No team has managed to even force a Game 6, which the Yankees will look to do on Wednesday.
Entering the series, tickets were near record highs for a matchup of two of baseball's premiere organizations that boast a decades-long rivalry and star-studded rosters. Prior to Game 1, CNBC reported that the average price for a World Series ticket on the secondary market was $3,887, according to ticket reseller TicketIQ. That's the second-most expensive average since it started tracking the data in 2010.
With the Yankees trailing 3-0 in the series on Monday, an NBC New York analysis of last-minute ticket prices for Game 3 found the cheapest single ticket at Yankee Stadium across popular secondary market sellers was over $900.
