The appropriate staffing for your event is partly a function of the event and partly a function of the physical layout of the facilities.

The Hall Manager will determine the minimum acceptable staffing.

NUMBER OF USHERS NEEDED

Ushers perform many useful functions: assisting patrons; acting expeditiously in the event of

an emergency; and policing the Concert Hall after a performance.

Your usher needs will primarily be determined by two functions:

controlling doorways (all events) and, for events with assigned seating, escorting (or simply

directing) patrons to their seats.

Note: The orchestra seats 300 patrons. Costs can be greatly reduced by closing the balcony for events with smaller audiences.
