POSITION SUMMARY:

Based at the Gentilly/Horseman’s Entrance, the Bus Lot Gate crew are the first face that Jazz Fest participants and vendors see at the Fest – so the crew needs to be positive, friendly and leave a good first impression.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:

• This position requires the use of a personal bicycle.
• This position will also assist the Gentilly Gate Crew with certain groups entering at the Horseman’s Entrance, as needed. General duties of all Bus Lot Entrance Gate personnel are to inspect all vehicles entering the gate. Each car needs to display the correct gate car tag and be checked to see if the number of tickets for the vehicle equals the number of patrons in the vehicle.
• The Gentilly Gate Manager will be the point person if any problem arises. Any conflicts that arise need to be immediately conveyed to the Gate Manager or the Packet Coordinator.
• All Bus Lot Entrance Gate personnel should be aware that they will be in the street among the vehicles, on their feet, and in all weather conditions from 9am – 5:30 pm most days. This crew should stay at the gate until the last scheduled group enters the festival grounds and/or pickup up their packet.
• It is very important that all Bus Lot Gate employees be polite, courteous, and keep a cool head. This can be a high pressure and high stress position at times.
• Confidentiality is of utmost importance. There are no autographs or picture taking with this job.  
• This position is primarily outdoors; rain or shine.
