The Amsterdam Court of Appeal ruled that providing an alcoholic drink during the intermission of a performance is considered an additional service to the main performance, and therefore does not fall under the reduced rate. The court stated that the average consumer does not buy a ticket for the free intermission drink, but to attend the performance itself. Therefore, the reduced rate applies only to the main performance.
