Drake 2025: free metro, tram or bus to the Sportpaleis

Avoid traffic jams and parking stress — take public transport to Drake’s concert at the Sportpaleis on 7 August 2025. It won’t cost you anything extra.

Your concert ticket is your travel pass with De Lijn

Your Sportpaleis ticket is a combi-ticket. It not only grants access to the venue, it also serves as your travel pass on all De Lijn trams, buses and metro lines within the province of Antwerp.
Your ticket includes a solidarity contribution that covers free use of public transport.

⚠️ Please note! Your concert ticket is only valid as a travel pass on the day of the show, and only for your outbound and return trip to the Sportpaleis.
