About this role
Working the door at Masonic Temple puts you at the front line of AEG Presents' concert operations in Detroit. You'll manage guest entry through ID checking and ticket scanning, monitor the venue during arrivals and exits to maintain fire safety compliance, and handle credential verification for backstage and restricted areas. Beyond entry control, the role involves active crowd management—spotting unsafe conduct, addressing alcohol policy violations, and using de-escalation skills to keep the environment secure for guests, performers, and staff. You'll also direct guests throughout the venue, respond to complaints, and assist with light cleaning between and after events.
This is a part-time position suited to someone reliable and comfortable in high-energy, unpredictable environments. You'll need to stand and walk for extended periods, lift up to 50 pounds, and be available for nights, weekends, and holidays as the concert schedule demands. The role requires strong interpersonal skills, a friendly demeanor, and the ability to stay calm under pressure. While previous event or music industry experience is preferred, it's not required—a high school diploma and genuine customer service orientation matter more.
The position pays $14–$17 per hour. Part-time staff may qualify for AEG's ACA benefits, though event-based positions are generally not eligible for standard benefits. This role works well if you're looking for flexible, event-driven work in a major venue and want direct exposure to live entertainment operations.
