General Reservations Regulations

• Reservations are not required. Admission to all tents is free.
• Except for the Festzelt Tradition, you're required to guarantee a minimum consumption with your reservation by buying beer and chicken vouchers in advance. Usually, you need to buy two beers and one half chicken per seat.
• Those vouchers can still be used after Oktoberfest in the hosts' restaurants.
• A quarter of all seats in the large tents are generally unreserved, on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays before 3 pm, it's even half, after 3 pm, 35% of all seats. Only Käfer and the Weinzelt are excepted from this rule.
• On weekends before 3 pm, 15% of the seats inside may be additionally reserved for people living in Munich. Not all tents do this, though.
• 10% of the actually unreserved sections may be reserved 24 hours in advance as last-minute-reservations.
• Reserved and unreserved sections in the tents are to be indicated by signs.
• The tables in the beer gardens can't be reserved.
• With only a few exceptions, you can only reserve whole tables for typically ten persons.
• Reselling reservations is prohibited.

How can I pay for my reservation?

Paying for the vouchers you have to buy with a reservation is done via bank transfer, which is the predominant way to settle a bill in Germany. Your bank will usually be able to do the transfer using the IBAN of the recipient for you.

However, banks are known for charging outrageous fees for international wire transfers. Therefore, it's advisable to check whether an alternative service is a more affordable option. We made good experiences with Wise in the past. If you decide to use Wise using this link, we'll get a commission.
