Some tents offer last-minute-reservations 24h in advance.

In 2017, a new type of reservation was tested. The hosts of the tents are allowed to reserve an additional 10% of the normally non-reserved seats, following these rules:

  • Only on weekends and on October 3rd
  • Less than 24 hours before the reservation
  • No minimum consumption
  • Reserved tables have to be arranged in blocks

In 2026, two tents will be using this system:

  • Ochsenbraterei: reservations for Saturdays, 10 a.m.–2 p.m., via a separate reservation form.
  • Armbrustschützenzelt: three slots for Saturdays—12 p.m., 3 p.m., and 6 p.m.—via a separate reservation form.

For a spontaneous visit, the reservation-free seats are the best option.
