Pros

Ticket purchase benefits. Some exposure to entertainment industry.

Cons

Heavy workloads, management practices not up to date. Unrealistic understanding of projects, and timelines. Insider's game. On the marketing side, vision of management seems limited to carving profits out of standard partnerships (e.g. more ticketing channels) and maximizing revenue on trinkets (coke & tshirt revenue). LiveNation could be a much bigger influence for good in the music world. Why not build your own brand?

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.
