UPDATE: After hearing Jason Elia’s story, his alleged ex-girlfriend came forward to the Daily Mail denying all accusations saying that the two never had a relationship and there never were any Super Bowl tickets.
When Jason Elia found out he was diagnosed with cancer, selling his Super Bowl tickets were not a part of the plan. Too bad that’s exactly what happened.
