Stewards generally carry out a variety of different roles during an event. From checking tickets/gates/wristbands upon entry, monitoring crowd safety, pointing out amenities and general stewarding of the public and guests, Stewards are expected to contribute to, and maintain, a happy and fun atmosphere for all.
