Summary/Abstract: The contract on a theater visit is a complex, non-typical, adhesive contract, whose predominant elements belong to the contract for the supply of services, which is regulated by the Law on Obligations. Nevertheless, due to significant differences between these two contracts, the statutory provisions applying to the contract for the supply of services have to be applied to the contract on the theater visit very carefully. The most significant peculiarities of the contract on a theater visit are the non-material nature of the suppliers' obligation, the purchaser's presence at the theater show, as a mode of accepting the service provided; the beginning and the end of the show as the time limits that are essential for the performance of the supplier's obligation; the theater ticket as an identification paper and not as a security. The contract on a theater visit also contains elements of a contract of lease in respect of the concrete visitor's seat in the theater. Consequently, the rules governing the lessor's liability for defects in the rented object apply. Finally, since the contract of the theater visit is concluded by purchasing the ticket, the rules governing the contract on sale also apply.
