Licensed Ushers and
Ticket Takers
"Unity is Strength"
Local 176 has been able to secure an agreement to staff the T20 Men’s Cricket World Cup that will be held in the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium.
There will be 8 matches, scheduled from June 3rd through June 12.
There is a very good chance that, on June 9, Citi Field will be hosting a Watch Party for the India-Pakistan match. If Citi Field has a Watch Party, you will not be able to work both, as they are going on at the same time.
All World Cup matches are scheduled to start at 10:30 AM and doors will open at 8:30. Our Call Time will be 8:00 AM each day. Ticket takers pay will be $21.50 per hour, with a 3 hour minimum call, and Ushers pay is $19.25 per hour, with a 4 hour minimum call. Ushers will be permitted to accept tips.
Similar to the interview process for the U. S. Open, each person will have to attend a hiring session. The dates and location are not known at this time. Additionally, there may be training dates set up to familiarize us with the new stadium.
We will probably need about 150 people to ensure that all matches will be properly staffed. Each person will have to fill out a work availability slip to confirm the matches they are available to work. As I wrote earlier, they will only need between 20-25 Ticket Takers each match, these positions will be determined by seniority in the union.
If you are available, and wish to work the T20 World Cup of Cricket, you must send an email to:
by 5:00 PM, Monday, April 29, to let the Business Agent know.
