This is the first year that Samsung and AT&T are partnering as a sponsor of the Glee Live! In Concert! tour and they plan on giving fans a unique and interactive "Glee" experience.

"AT&T is always looking for opportunities to connect with our customers and bring them closer to the people, places and events that matter most," said Eric Goldfeld, executive director, National Marketing, AT&T Mobility and Consumer Markets. "Through our association with Samsung, we are excited to bring the Glee experience to our customers in ways they cannot get anywhere else, including access to exclusive wireless ringtone and wallpaper and opportunities to meet a Glee cast member at select stores."

Samsung's associate sponsorship of the Glee Live! In Concert! will be focused around their newest mobile device.  The Samsung Infuse 4G exclusively at AT&T is a premium Android smartphone that delivers an unmatched entertainment experience through a 4.5-inch screen using Samsung's Super AMOLED Plus display which features 50% more sub-pixels(2) for better contrast and outdoor readability.  This yields deeper and richer color brilliance so that every image and movie is more true to life than other leading smartphones.

"The Glee Live! In Concert! tour is a great way for us to engage our consumers with an immersive and interactive experience that will give them a chance to learn more about the Infuse 4G," said Paul Golden, Chief Marketing Officer, Samsung Telecommunications America.  "We're also thrilled to provide Glee fans in North America the chance to be part of one of the most in-demand concerts through our national promotion that we will be launching in conjunction with the tour."

In honor of the sponsorship, Samsung Infuse 4G exclusively at AT&T will be hosting a national promotion that will provide Glee fans across the nation the opportunity to engage with the Glee Live! In Concert! tour through a dedicated Facebook page which will feature an engaging fan experience for fans of all ages.

Throughout the tour, Samsung and AT&T will host a series of events that will give Glee fans the chance to win tickets to the show in their hometown along with other great prizes, including a Samsung Infuse 4G, as well as a chance to meet one of the Glee Live cast members in person. These events will be taking place at select AT&T store locations in San Francisco, Boston, Chicago, DC and in New York.

Additionally, consumers can enter to win a trip to New York to attend the AT&T Samsung Infuse 4G Spring Fling, an exclusive Glee-themed event.  Winners of the sweepstakes will also enjoy VIP access to the Glee Live! In Concert! show in New York. Details on the sweepstakes, including how to enter, will soon be posted on the Samsung Infuse 4G tab on facebook.com/att. Stay tuned.
