Check-In Staff vs Ticket Checkers

Front-of-House Staffing for Live Events

Ushers vs Greeters

Ushers

Ushers own the in-room journey, guiding guests from portal to row, protecting aisle discipline, and keeping seating movement quiet, accurate, and controlled once the program is live.

EVENT GREETERS

Event greeters own the arrival zone, shaping first impressions, answering fast questions, and directing guests to the right entrance, line, or desk before confusion builds in the lobby.

Operational Timeline

These two roles support the same guest journey at different moments, with one protecting arrival pace and the other protecting in-room control.
