Last updated: October 2026
The Dallas Stars don't run one internship season, they run several. The same Ticket Sales Internship has gone up for summer 2025, fall 2025, summer 2026 and, right now, spring 2027. On 17 October 2026 the Stars' board on TeamWork Online listed 21 openings and exactly one internship: the 2027 Spring Ticket Sales Internship in Frisco, Texas, shown as posted about a week earlier. The posting prints no closing date, pay, hours or term dates, and every earlier cohort's posting is closed. Here's the cycle in plain words: you can apply now for spring 2027, and the summer 2027 posting is expected around February 2027.

The Stars' open internship is a phone-and-CRM sales role, so showing you can analyze sales data and talk to customers helps before the interview. Externships are short, remote programs where you complete a real project for a real company, most commonly over 8 weeks. The Breaking Games E-Commerce Data Analysis & Strategy Externship fits the sales data and reporting side, and the Beats by Dre Creative Advertising Strategy Externship fits sponsorship and fan-promotion work.

What Is a Dallas Stars Internship?
A Dallas Stars internship is a student role with DSE Hockey Club, LP, the company behind the NHL's Dallas Stars, which is part of Dallas Sports & Entertainment. The open role is the Ticket Sales Internship, which means outbound sales calls, CRM records, work at Stars home games and Ticket Sales & Service events, and data entry and reporting. The Stars' offices are at Comerica Center in Frisco. The posting says interns learn the sales cycle, the Archtics ticketing system and CRM software, and prospecting for theme-night groups. This page covers the Dallas club, not the Texas Stars or the NHL league office.
When Do Dallas Stars Internship Applications Open for 2027–2028?
The Stars post the Ticket Sales Internship several times a year, each with its own requisition. Summer 2025 was already closed by 9 April 2025, and a fall 2025 version followed. The summer 2026 posting was captured by the Internet Archive on 27 February 2026 with a "3 days ago" label, so it went up around 24 February 2026. Spring 2027 appeared in October 2026. That gives a three-cohort pattern, but the posting dates for fall aren't recoverable, so treat summer 2027 and fall 2027 as expected, not confirmed.
The 2027 Spring Ticket Sales Internship is open, posted about 10 October 2026, with no closing date printed. It's the only internship on the Stars' board, so apply this week.
Spring 2027 is the term the open posting covers. The posting prints no start or end dates, so confirm them at your interview. Meanwhile, set a TeamWork alert for the next posting.
Applications for summer 2027 are expected. The summer 2026 posting went up around 24 February 2026, and the summer 2025 posting was closed by 9 April 2025. Check TeamWork daily from mid-February.
Applications for fall 2027 are expected, but that's low confidence: we found a fall 2025 posting and couldn't recover its posting date.
The summer and fall cohorts run if the Stars repeat the pattern. Term dates for those cohorts aren't published.
How to read this page: our dates come from tracking previous recruiting cycles and daily posting data. Treat them as informed estimates based on historical patterns, not confirmed dates. The company's official careers page is always the most current source. If a role is posted there, go by that, even if this page suggests the window hasn't opened yet.
Why You Must Apply the Week Applications Open
The Stars' mode is short window with an unknown close. The spring 2027 posting prints no deadline, and we have found no way to tell when it closes: every earlier ticket sales posting is closed, and closed postings give no warning. A candidate who waits for a second look may find the page marked "closed to new applications." Set a TeamWork alert, have your résumé ready, and apply in the first days of each posting.
Which Dallas Stars Internship Programs Should You Target?
The Stars' TeamWork board shows one internship open and a handful of earlier internships that have closed. This is what we can document.
| Role | Cohorts seen | Status on 17 Oct 2026 | Key skills |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ticket Sales Internship | Summer 2025, fall 2025, summer 2026, spring 2027 | Open for spring 2027 (Frisco, TX) | Outbound calls, CRM, Archtics, Excel |
| Business Strategy & Analytics Intern | Posted at least twice, most recently as req 2189774 | Closed | Supports Ticket Sales & Service, Sponsorship and Marketing |
| Corporate Partnership Sales Internship | Seen in the Stars' TeamWork archive | Not open; text not read | Not published |
| Promotions Apprentice Intern | Seen in the Stars' TeamWork archive | Not open; text not read | Not published |
The Stars' entry-level Inside Sales Representative role on the same board is a full-time job, not an internship, as are the StarCenter operations and front-desk roles. The Texas Stars (AHL) and the NHL league office run separate programs.
What Are the Eligibility Requirements?
The spring 2027 posting is short on rules. This is what it states:
• Student status: not stated. The posting has no "currently enrolled" line and doesn't mention academic credit.
• Skills: excellent customer service, communication and interpersonal skills, strong written, verbal and presentation skills, and Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel.
• Availability: ability to work flexible hours, including Stars home games and ticket-sales events.
• Physical: stand, walk and lift up to 25 pounds occasionally, in office and arena settings with moderate to quite loud noise.
• GPA and work authorization: not published.
Do You Have to Be a Student?
The posting doesn't say, so don't assume either way. It's titled an internship and the earlier summer 2026 version asked only a felony-disclosure and name-certification question, with no enrollment or credit question. Ask the Stars at the interview stage whether you need to be enrolled or earn credit, and check whether the role is paid, since the posting doesn't state it.
What Skills Do the Dallas Stars Look For, and How Do You Build Them?
The spring 2027 posting is a sales role, and its text matches the summer 2026 version. Sales: outbound calls to generate leads and identify new customers, plus calling members and leaders of groups tied to theme nights. Systems: you learn Archtics and CRM software and keep electronic account records. Communication and tools: strong written, verbal and presentation skills, and Word, PowerPoint and Excel. Game days: you work Stars home games, including in-game recognition and receptions.
Note: We haven't built a skills chart for the Stars: the Ticket Sales Internship is the only internship open, and its spring 2027 text is the same as the summer 2026 posting, so a chart would count one job description twice. The Business Strategy & Analytics Intern posting is closed and its body is no longer readable.

What Is the Dallas Stars Application and Interview Process Like?
The Stars don't publish an interview format. Here's what the posting and its history show:
1. Create a TeamWork profile and set an alert. The Stars' board offers "Get Job Alerts", and TeamWork is the only place the club posts.
2. Apply on the posting. Use "Apply Now" on the 2027 Spring Ticket Sales Internship. The summer 2026 version asked a felony-disclosure question and a name certification.
3. Be ready to talk about sales. The role is outbound calling and CRM work, so prepare an example of persuading or following up with people.
4. Confirm the details. Pay, hours and term dates aren't printed, so ask at the interview stage.
A commenter on r/nhl in 2023 advised refreshing TeamWork several times a day and submitting immediately when something appears.
What Students on Reddit Say
Two 2023 threads give advice-level views on getting into the Stars. Neither states internship pay or conversion, so treat them as background.
In a thread from a veteran asking how to work for the Stars, commenters pointed to TeamWork Online as the hiring portal and said the Stars always need ticket reps, so inside sales can get a newcomer in the door.
Another commenter said to keep an eye on TeamWork Online, refresh it a few times a day and submit right away, and noted that any foot in the door, such as ice crew or box office, is a big step.
How Do You Stand Out for a Dallas Stars Internship?
Three moves. First, be early and set an alert. The Stars' postings print no deadline and the earlier cohorts are all closed, so the first days matter most. Second, show you can sell: practise a short outbound call, learn what Archtics and a CRM do, and bring an example of following up with leads. Third, treat the internship as a route into the club. Commenters on Reddit describe ticket and inside sales as the usual foot in the door, and the Stars list an entry-level Inside Sales Representative job separately. The Stars don't publish an applicant count or a conversion rate, so ask your supervisor which full-time roles interns have moved into.
