Festival In Sweden Provides Free Tickets For Those Who Are Willing To Donate Their Kidneys

JAKARTA – An event in Sweden which was held this weekend, Way Out West, made a new breakthrough by launching a special ticket that could be obtained for those willing to donate kidneys.

Meanwhile, Way Out West will last for three days in Sweden’s second-largest city, Göteborg, from 7 to 9 August. The festival will feature Charli XCX, Iggy Pop, Chappell Rosan, Mk.gee, and many more.

Tickets themselves have been sold out. However, the organizers through the website officially announced that viewers can have a three-day forward ticket without spending money, which is referred to as the Kidney Pass category.

This category requires owners to be willing to donate kidneys and join Sweden’s National Organ Donation List. Then, they will register with Socialstyrelsen and promise that their organs can be donated after they die.

Towards the festival, some people say they will ‘donate the kidneys’ to get tickets. That’s impossible, for good reasons. However, that makes us think, registration for the National Organs Register has decreased by more than 30% in recent years, “said the organizer on the official Way Out West website.

So, we are now releasing the Kidney Pass, an opportunity to get a three-day admission ticket by registering and thus showing interest in post-mortem organ donation.

Later, the owner of the Kidney Pass category will receive a bracelet to enter the festival area, where the bracelet reads ‘I donated a kidney for this ticket’.

This is not donating your kidneys to get tickets, but that kind of thing. This means you are open to the idea that your organs are used for donations if you die. Because one day, your kidneys can save lives, once you finish using them,” added the organizer.

For information, those who can own the Kidney Pass must be 18 years old and have Swedish social security numbers.
