Stadium Ushers and Vendors

Employment for ushers, lobby attendants, and ticket takers is expected to increase by 3 percent (or about as fast as the average for all careers) from 2023 through 2033, according to the U.S. Department of Labor. Turnover in this work is high. Most openings arise as people leave the field for different reasons. Many leave to take better paying jobs. Students working part time usually leave when they graduate from high school or college.

Typically, stadium revenue rises and falls with the success and failure of the home team; if the team is doing well, crowds swell and fill the stands. Going forward, jobs will always exist for ushers and vendors in sports facilities, and these skills are applicable to other venues that use ushers and vendors, such as music halls and theaters.
