Toronto couple's divorce hits snag over rare Taylor Swift concert tickets

A Toronto-based coupleʼs break-up got extra-complicated due to one hot item: premium Taylor Swift concert tickets (which they bought last fall before their split)

“When couples separate you can come across different issues like who is going to get the family pet or Peloton bike“ > [[explained Jane Cvijan‚ senior legal counsel with M & Co. Law]]

The ex-pair had three choices: attend together share a buy-out deal for around $10000 (black-market price); or sell-and-split. The final decision stays private but everyone seemed ok with it

Some other odd divorce deals through history include:

  • David Hasselhoffʼs rights to nick-names like “The Hoff“
  • A Cambodia couple who cut their house in two
  • Spanish partners who made a single flat into two mini-homes
  • An Australian case where someone had to dig-up in-laws ashes

In a twist of fate Ms Cvijan who couldnt get tickets herself got lucky when her co-worker sold her face-value tickets: “My daughter was so thrilled; thats what friends are for“
