AUSTIN (KXAN) - A lucky number of fans will be able to score tickets to see Prince at South By Southwest on Saturday.
Throughout Austin, users who own a NFC-enabled Samsung Galaxy device can unlock a series of rewards to get the chance to see the music icon.
Users can tap TecTile installations in exchange for free offers from local businesses. Consumers who unlock all 11 rewards are then eligible to win a free ticket see Prince and A Tribe Called Quest, at a yet-to-be-announced venue.
Galaxy owners running low on power during the festivities can also communicate with Samsung to get a new battery. By tweeting #PowerOn to @SamsungMobileUS , users will then be greeted by a bike messenger with a new, fully-charged battery.
