You can always choose, but if you choose not to go they will probably arrest you for contempt of court. If you feel that you are not necessary then contact the person who issues the subpoena and ask them to cancel it. You can also ask what fees you are entitled to recieve.

What is it called when you are summoned for court?

One can actually be summoned to court with whistle and a nod, if that person were willing to show up. Typically, however, the court will issue a subpoena (or, a summons) upon the request of a party to the litigation. Without the subpoena, the opposing party will have no recourse if you don't show up. The subpoena must be properly served for the summons to have any legal weight in the case one does not appear. But even an order made in open court, in the presence of the person being ordered, is sufficient.
