Nevertheless, the two have combined forces in Bud Light’s nifty second-screen Sports Fan app in a way that should make even the most Europhile of sports fans pay attention. The free app allows those watching NFL games to predict what is going to happen in the next play, with each correct prediction winning the user credits that go towards football-themed prizes such as tickets to games and NFL merchandise. Users can also win credits by catching medals that fly across their screen at vital points in the game and – rather more easily – by inviting friends to participate.

From the start of next season, Eagles fans will be able to point the Aurasma app at their ticket to watch highlights, previews, and messages from players – lots of video content, basically. Why do this with AR tickets rather than just an app, though? “We think there’s a real wow factor when season ticket holders hold their smartphones over these tickets and watch them come to life,” says president Don Smolenski.
