How badly do you want to go to a music festival? Would you give up an organ to get a ticket? Sweden\u2019s Way Out West festival might have an option for you.<\/p>\n

The music festival is set to take place Thursday to Satursday in Gothenburg, Sweden, with acts such as Charli XCX<\/a>, Chappell Roan<\/a>, Iggy Pop, Kneecap<\/a>, and more. Tickets are already sold out, but if you\u2019re willing to donate a kidney, you can snag one.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year, tickets to Way Out West sold out earlier than ever,\u201d the festival\u2019s website explains. \u201cWith no tickets left, the FOMO kicks in hard. People start saying they\u2019d give up just about anything to get one. One phrase you often hear when tickets are gone? \u2018I\u2019d give a kidney for a ticket.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

The Kidney Pass<\/a> allows people over the age of 18 who have a Swedish social security number to sign up for the donation registry. You could then give your consent to allow your organs to be donated upon your death.<\/p>\n

\u201cBy joining it, you\u2019re not just saying you\u2019d give a kidney for a ticket, you\u2019re showing you truly support organ donation \u2013 by being willing to donate your organs after your death,\u201d the festival states. Signing up for the donation registry doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re committed to staying in. The ability exists to change preferences or remove your registration altogether.<\/p>\n

As a disclaimer, Way Out West notes, \u201cregistration does not guarantee a ticket\u201d because only a limited amount are available. However, if you do, you get to say you literally gave your kidney for a ticket.<\/p>\n
