Overview

We are looking for friendly and detail-oriented individuals to join our team as a Ticket Scanner. In this role, you will be responsible for scanning and verifying tickets at stadium entry points, assisting guests with entry procedures, and ensuring a smooth and efficient gate operation. This is a great opportunity to be part of an exciting event experience while providing excellent customer service. This is a part-time, seasonal, event day position that will primarily support holiday and special events, with opportunities to work additional events throughout the year.

Key Responsibilities And Essential Functions

• Greet guests warmly and scan tickets using electronic scanning devices to verify entry.
• Ensure tickets are valid and assist with any scanning or access issues.
• Direct guests to appropriate seating areas, customer service booths, or other stadium locations as needed.
• Monitor entry points to prevent unauthorized access and address any security concerns.
• Provide information about venue policies, seating arrangements, event activities, and promotions.
• Work closely with security and event staff to maintain a safe and organized entry process.
• Assist guests with mobility challenges or special access needs.
• Maintain a professional and positive attitude while handling large crowds.
• Other duties as assigned.

Required Qualifications

• Strong customer service and communication skills.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment and handle large crowds efficiently.
• Comfortable using electronic ticket scanners and basic technology.
• Ability to stand for long periods and work outdoors in various weather conditions.
• Availability to work flexible hours, including evenings, weekends, and holidays.

Physical Demands

• This role requires the ability to stand and walk for extended periods, often for the entire duration of a shift (typically 4-6 hours per game, with potential for doubleheaders or extended events).
• Must be able to remain standing at a designated gate or station with limited opportunity to sit.
• Requires frequent repetitive hand and arm motions for scanning tickets, tearing stubs, and directing guests.
• Must be able to occasionally lift or carry light items (under 20 lbs), such as a box of supplies, a stanchion, or a signage stand.

• Must possess sufficient manual dexterity to efficiently handle tickets, operate a handheld scanner or tablet, and make quick, accurate exchanges.

Work Conditions

• This position works almost exclusively outdoors at stadium entry gate areas. You will be exposed to all seasonal weather conditions, including intense sun, heat, humidity, rain, and cold.
• Hours are entirely event driven. This requires absolute availability for all home games, which include evenings, weekends, and holidays. Shifts typically begin 60-90 minutes before gates open and may extend through the end of the game. Flexibility for special events, rain delays, or double-headers is required.
• Must adhere to all safety and security protocols, including bag check policies and crowd management procedures. You are expected to maintain a professional appearance and demeanor as a representative of the team.
