The Challenge

A VIP arrives close to show start and needs discreet direction without slowing general guest flow.

Event Greeters
Protocol A

Event greeters intercept early, separate the guest from general traffic, confirm the correct route, and keep the welcome smooth without turning the entrance into a crowd point.

Section Ushers
Protocol B

Ushers receive the handoff inside, protect the reserved seating area, guide the guest to the correct row, and seat them with minimal disruption to nearby sections.

The Challenge

A guest needs the correct accessible path, calm guidance, and fast coordination across multiple touchpoints.

Event Greeters
Protocol A

Event greeters handle the first conversation, guide the guest to the right accessible entry route, and keep the lobby calm while the next support step is coordinated.

Section Ushers
Protocol B

Ushers manage the in-room portion, guiding the final approach to the seating area, helping with row access, and resolving seat-position questions under live event conditions.

A guest has a valid ticket but arrives at the wrong portal and begins hesitating in active guest flow.

Event Greeters
Protocol A

Event greeters reduce this issue upstream by catching directional confusion earlier, answering route questions fast, and steering guests toward the correct entry point before they commit.

Protocol B

Ushers stop the disruption from spreading inside, verify the section quickly, redirect the guest to the right portal, and protect aisle flow while the correction happens.
