I suppose you could argue that when you take possession of the ticket you a contract to perceive the performance in a very specific way! Where do we draw the line?
I agree, but doesn't "seen" by definition imply ambiguity?
Those who "see" like those who "behold" make assumptions about the observations of others.
I'm not sure where you draw the line. In the case of a public performance like a comedy show, I guess if you know the comedian has form, you don't buy a ticket, or just check your phone and zone out when they get to the bits you don't like. I'm not sure.
If it's a one to one situation, just make sure you know the person very well, and if you stuff up, apologise and don't do it again, and pray they forgive you. All easier said then done.
