DALLAS, June 27, 2014 (Korea Bizwire)–Samsung Telecommunications America, LLC (Samsung) today launched the  Samsung Galaxy Owner’s experience in collaboration with AEG, one of the  world’s leading presenters of sports and entertainment. Available in 41  AEG-affiliated venues nationwide, select Galaxy device owners will  receive exclusive rewards and incentives such as VIP luxury suite and  club access, seat upgrades, concession and merchandise discounts and  other complimentary services. 

Galaxy owners who would like to participate in the program can download  the Samsung Owner’s Hub app through Google  Play. The Owner’s Hub app includes device tips, how-to videos,  complimentary music tracks, exclusive entertainment clips and more.  Galaxy users at participating AEG owned or affiliated venues nationwide  will receive instant rewards.

The Samsung Galaxy Owner’s experience at AEG-affiliated venues delivers  rewards to fans via near field communication technology (NFC), a  contactless communication method, embedded within Galaxy Owner signage  located throughout the participating venues.
