FILM VENUE TEAM
September 29th – October 2
USHER
Responsible for getting people seated so we start on time. If reserved seating is used for certain movies, must make sure seat markers are not taken or moved. Guide people to their seats, provide directions for water,popcorn, rest rooms. Help cleanup, take out trash.
At direction of the Venue Manager, you can release seats before the movie starts.
TICKETING
Stand at entrance to the lobby and ensure that pass holders and ticket holders are admitted according to their priority when doors open. After all pass holders have been admitted and a count of open seats taken, the Ticket Taker will sell Standby Tickets (credit or debit card only). Ticket Taker will be responsible for filling out attendance forms for each movie. Remaining calm when all around appears to be in chaos is essential. Multi-tasking skills are invaluable.
COUNTER
Standing next to Ticket Taker, uses a clicker to count the number of pass holders admitted and Standby Tickets sold. Might not sound like much, but this task is actually critical to GALIFF efforts to secure grants for the following year as we are always asked to document our attendance figures. It’s much tougher than it sounds to keep an accurate count in the swell of the crowd. Attention to detail and ability to see the big picture value of this task helpful in this position.
