Stadium Ushers and Vendors

Education and Training Requirements

High School

High school students fill many of the usher and vendor positions in theaters and stadiums, although there is an age requirement for vendors who sell alcoholic beverages. Good standing in high school or a high school diploma is usually required. Employers will strongly consider your school attendance record, so regular and prompt attendance is advised.

Postsecondary Training

Vendors and ushers are not required to have college-level education or training. Most training is conducted on the job for a brief time and new employees are used to fill the less responsible jobs and quieter locations. While the trainees are learning, they are shifted to different parts of the stadium as the need arises.
