"It's official! I have tickets to the game!!!" the woman said Thursday in an email to The Star and other news organizations. "We met at a jewelry store so they could verify the ring was real and matched the appraisal I had provided him."

The purchaser, Rusty Jones, 49, said he discussed the ad with his girlfriend and responded to it, but the seller lost his contact information accidentally. He said the ad was reposted and he was able to get back in touch with the woman and arrange a purchase without his girlfriend's knowledge.
