Event Staff

Oak View Group runs PPL Center in downtown Allentown, home of the Lehigh Valley Phantoms, the AHL affiliate of the Philadelphia Flyers. The arena is hiring part-time event staff for Phantoms games, concerts, trade shows, and the other events it holds through the year.

Event staff look after guest safety. You are posted to a door, stairwell, lobby, or backstage area, check credentials, and make sure only the right people get in. During the event you watch the crowd, keep aisles clear, sort out seating problems, and help settle disputes.

You report to a supervisor and tell them about any problem as it develops. You also need to know the building well, including the exits and restrooms, so you can point guests the right way.

The posted pay is $13.00 to $13.50 an hour, and part-time staff can join the 401(k) plan with a company match. Shifts follow the event calendar, so expect nights, weekends, and some holidays. Oak View Group lists the posting as open until December 31, 2026.
