You prefer going to the Baseball game; the other player prefers the Opera. Both of you value being together more than going to different events. This is the classic Battle of the Sexes: there are two coordinated outcomes—(Baseball, Baseball) and (Opera, Opera). You rank the first higher; the other player ranks the second higher. Any miscoordination (Baseball, Opera or Opera, Baseball) leaves you both worse off.
Canonical payoffs: coordination is better than miscoordination; each player prefers a different coordinated outcome.
