You need to inject the container via Dependency Injection into your listener class in order to acccess it.

Read more about it in the book chapter.

your.listener:
    class: Acme\MemberBundle\EventListener\CalendarEventListener
    arguments: ["@service_container"]

Though injecting the whole container is performance-wise not the best idea among with some other reasons like testability ( you should normally only inject the services you need in your class instead of the container )...

...in your case if you aren't using a UserCallable you will get a circular reference when injecting @security.context.

So the quickest solution is injecting the container and adjusting your listener's constructor:

private $container;

public function __construct(ContainerInterface $container)
{
    $this->container = $container;
}



public function someOtherMethod()
{
    $user = $this->container->get('security.context')->getToken()->getUser();

    // ...
}
