Where can I buy tickets for the concert?

You should definitely try to buy tickets at the official ticket page first. But, if you didn’t manage to buy a ticket within the first hours after the tickets were dropped, there are most likely none left for you. What can you do then?

Your best option is probably to visit Viagogo. This is a website created for selling and buying tickets from others. You should, of course, be careful and use common wisdom in the process, but this is normally a good place for buying tickets to concerts you would very much like to attend.

Are there any good hotels or apartments close to Forest National?

Forest National is located a little bit south of the city center of Brussels. In other words, it might not be ideal if you want to live in the city center of Brussels at a location where you can discover the city immediately after leaving your accommodation. But, if you’d rather live at a cheaper price outside the city center, but close to the concert venue where Sting will perform, you should consider booking a hotel or apartments close to Forest National.

We should mention that there are very few hotels just around the concert venue, but if you try to book accommodation somewhere between the city center and the Forest district of Brussels, you should do well.
