Getting to AFAS Dome & Lotto Arena by public transportation
Your concert ticket serves as your De Lijn transit ticket on the day of your show. Tram 6 (via Luchtbal), tram 2, and tram A3 (via Merksem) stop nearby, ending at the Sport metro stop.

The Sport metro stop is closest, about a 2-minute walk, connecting to the Park & Ride lines and to Antwerp Central Station. The Schijnpoort stop (metro, tram, and bus) is about a 6-minute walk and also connects to Antwerp Central Station.

Is De Lijn transit included with my ticket?
Yes. Your concert ticket is valid as public transit fare on De Lijn tram, bus, and metro lines in Antwerp province, on the day of your show — both ways. No separate validation needed.
Do trams and buses still run after the show?
Yes. Events typically end before 11:30 p.m., while regular trams are still running, and for busy shows extra trams are added to handle the large crowd afterward.
Is there a night bus for late-night events?
Yes. For late-night events (such as a night party), we add night buses departing at regular intervals, running when the regular trams and buses no longer operate. The night bus runs from AFAS Dome to P+R Linkeroever and P+R Merksem, and makes an additional stop at Antwerp Central Station on request.
Questions about the route or the exact departure time of the night bus? Ask a De Lijn staff member on site.
Can I reach the venue by train?
Yes, the venue is reachable by train via Antwerp Central Station. From the station, you have direct access to the Diamant metro stop, where you take the metro toward the Sport stop (see the table above for the lines). Keep in mind that a return trip by train isn't always guaranteed, since shows sometimes run late. Later trains do run on Friday and Saturday evenings between Antwerp and Brussels.
Our tip: for up-to-date, personalized travel advice (from your starting point all the way to the venue, including your return trip), we point visitors to the be•at route planner.
