The WOŚP Phone cards

It has become a tradition that every year Poland’s national telecommunications provider Telekomunikacja Polska creates special occasional phone cards connected with the Grand Finale and with Przystanek Woodstock Festival. The cards are issued in big numbers, successfully promoting our activities. Besides, those beautiful cards are freebies!

In 1998, TP agreed to design a Gold Phone Card. Only 100 such cards were issued and when we put them up for auction along with our Gold hearts in the 6th Grand Finale, the Gold Phone Card instantly became a collector’s item. The card numbered “1” was sold for 3 000 PLN! There were even people, who were angry with us for not publicizing the event well enough. Anyway, it was too late and we had had no idea that the auction would stir up such an interest!

The Gold Phone Card from the 9th Grand Finale, that is the first Finale in the 21st century, was auctioned off for – yes, it’s not a mistake – 50 000 PLN!!!
