Your holiness,

All tent are free to get into. You need to ask when your there what are the non reservation areas. Show up early around 12noon - 2pm and hold on to the entire table with your group. The only way to get beer is if your at a table. If your planning to attend by the end of this month don't bother with reservation just do as I had mention before. If your planning on going next year, then I recommend making reservations about 8 month befor Oktoberfest begins in Sept. 2006. Just remember ride the ride early, eat the food, enjoy the beautiful german ladies and snag a table before 4pm, that's when the crowd pours in.
