Judge settles divorced couple's dispute over Oilers season tickets

A custody battle over Edmonton Oilers season tickets has been settled.

Beverly and Donald McLeod separated in 2015 after 35 years of marriage, with Donald agreeing to pay his ex-wife $15,000 in spousal support per month, according to the Canadian Press. But there was still the issue of who would get to keep the Oilers season tickets they shared for 11 years.

A judge ruled that since the tickets were acquired during their marriage and fall under the definition of household goods, the McLeods will have to share them for the 2017-18 season, including the playoffs, if applicable. They will not, however, have to sit together.

"The parties shall alternate choices for game tickets with the defendant choosing first the game for which he wants tickets, the plaintiff choosing second for her game, and the parties alternating choices thereafter until all regular season tickets have been assigned," Justice Ritu Khullar of Court of Queen's Bench wrote in her ruling.

"In the event there are playoff tickets, the plaintiff shall choose her game first, the defendant second, and alternating thereafter."
