Looks Great on Your Resume, but Don't Stay - Box Office Associate Live Nation Entertainment Employee Review

Pros

The people you work with make or break the experience, one day to the next is never the same. Even working at the box office, things are interesting and you are constantly learning new things. Pretty easy going with days off , but most shows are Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Cons

Lower and upper Management has no idea what is going on. The manager at one place in specific has no clue what they are doing. Sometimes yells at their employees for not understanding something. People will try to give their shifts away to avoid working there ( I have!) No real identity, are we Live Nation, are we Ticketmaster, are we House of Blues? I know its all the same but it feels like there is no appreciation for their employees, even getting free tickets is a hassle sometimes. The pay is a joke for the amount of work you do and have to deal with.

Pros

1. Genuinely fun environment. You're working live shows at a major 16,000-capacity venue, so no two events feel the same. 2. Strong sense of teamwork; the ops crew is small and coordinated, so you actually rely on and trust the people around you. 3. Real, transferable experience: crowd management, security screening, event setup/breakdown, and real-time coordination during incidents. 4. Good exposure to how a venue actually runs, including coordination with partner staff like Legends Global. 5. Flexible seasonal structure worked well for me (if you want event-industry experience without a year-round commitment) and you can talk to management about going to other venues during off-season.

Cons

1. Seasonal and event-driven, so hours are inconsistent and concentrated around the concert season. 2. Outdoor amphitheater work is weather-dependent; shifts happen rain or shine (at my venue: Mann Center), and conditions can sometimes be tough. 3. Physically demanding with long nights, late breakdowns, and a lot of time on your feet, you've gotta really enjoy and appreciate shows. 4. Limited long-term advancement within a seasonal role.
