The All Star Game comes to Portland the week of August 6th, and we have the chance to introduce visitors to the town and the sport we love. Check out the volunteer opportunities below. If any of them sound like something you'd like to do, sign up at the link provided. You'll receive two free TA/GA tickets to the CCL match on 9/23!

UPDATE 7/17 11:30am

Saturday, August 2 - Thursday, August 7th

Various three- and four-hour shifts

Airport Greeter

Be one of the first friendly faces to greet athletes, journalists and other visitors coming for the All Star Game.

The duties will be simple: you will be welcoming any visitors, athletes, and various delegations arriving for the All-Star Game and providing information about the game, events, and the city of Portland. You will be provided with information sheets to hand out to visitors.

PLEASE NOTE: this event has several different dates and shifts available. Please be sure to make a note of which date and time you have selected! Contact: Emily Hasenauer, Oregon Sports Authority (503) 234-3213 Click here to view available dates and times and to sign up.

UPDATE 8/7/14 3:20pm:

If you served in one of the volunteer shifts listed above, please allow a couple of weeks to hear back from the front office regarding how and when you'll get your two tickets to the CCL match. Chris Wilson and I will be coordinating on that front. Your patience is appreciated: this past week was a massive undertaking and folks are understandably taking a little time to process all of the aftermath, which was overwhelmingly positive.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for all of the work you did to make the All Star Game week such a resounding success. I am continually amazed and impressed with the level of commitment our volunteers have when it comes to giving back to the community.

    I’m signed up to Volunteer at the concert, where do we sign up to RIDE in the Rose Pedal rather than volunteer?

    @Matthew Lindley

    You don’t have to pre-register to ride in the MLS Rose Pedal presented by Volkswagen. Just come down to the Waterfront with your bike and the ride will start at 10am!

    @Matthew Lindley

    From the MLS event schedule (http://www.mlssoccer.com/all-star/2014/events), it looks like no “ticket” is required for that event, so I’d take that to mean there’s no sign up either. Probably just show up at the start. But more details might come as it gets closer.

    I signed up for the “Experience the match” spot. Just curious, since the match starts at 6:30, but we’re not done till 7:00, when do we get the tickets? I could give one to my friend to go in early to save me a seat if we get them up front?

    @BB

    BB – the tickets are not for the All Star game, they are for the “September 23rd CCL match vs. Alpha United FC”

    Organizers have your contact info and should be emailing you soon. If you have questions in the meantime please check the original Eventbrite sign-up for contact info for the organizer for the event/activity for which you are volunteering.

    Thanks for your patience. TA/RCR/107IST folks have already coordinated with various organizers to fill over 200 volunteer slots for events throughout the weekend and week, and more still will be volunteering on behalf of the 107IST. We really appreciate everyone’s willingness to give our visitors a warm Portland welcome.
