FAQ

Reservations For Evenings

There are no reservations on weekends and in the evenings. For more information see “Reservations” on this website.

Meal Documentation for The Day Of Reservations

If the actual consumption in the tent is over the value of coupons which were purchased before, you will get a meal documentation for this amount.

That amount has to be payed on the same day of reservation either cash or with EC card (consider there is a daily limit of 1000€). Sorry, no credit cards!

You can purchase coupons during the Octoberfest at the Wies’n office daily from 10 am -9pm. Coupons can only be paid cash or by EC card. We don´t accept credit cards either!

Admittance/Reentry

Admittance into the tent is only guaranteed if you have a valid ticket (no corporate identification card). Please notice the timeframe printed on your ticket. It’s only valid for 20 minutes!

If you leave the tent during your reservation, there is no guarantee that you can reentry the tent again, if the tent is overcrowded (even if you have a reservation). Smoking is prohibited in the entire tent because of a referendum. For security reasons we can not guarantee reentry for smokers once you leave the tent. We apologize for any inconvenience.

The coordination of the reentries is not controlled by our staff. Admittance and reentry is controlled by security.

We can not guarantee for reservations, if the reserved seats are not occupied within 20 minutes, even if you have coupons. You can not save a place for somebody else.

Admittance into the tent and claiming your reservation initiates only at the confirmed time.
