One Maß of beer to cost between €8.10 and €8.60 - Munich

The publicans are saying that they are simply 'passing on rising costs'.

Pricing the masses out - bring it on!*

I call for a mass boycott!*

Prost my arse!

More from Abendzeitung.

*Then I might get in of an evening

I hope they stick 'em up to €15 to keep the number of visitors down.

10€ is the effective price then.

Like last year

Other good news, fischervroni have persmission to build their balcony from the licensing people - it just has to pass the firesafety inspecition... The balcony will be along the side opposite the kitchen...

It's a good idea to charge something like 15 euro a maß or a huge admission charge. It might cut down on the scum and allow wealthy toffs like me some more drinking space.

Make it an invitation only event, the tourism board decides how many people from which country are allowed to visit and the embassies submit name lists. Chrissake, this is a Volksfest, that includes what you may regard as plebs.
Next year will be even worse, it's the 200th anniversary of the first Fest. I bet that the price was set with that in mind - it must not reach the €9 peak so we'll be modest this year and next, ending up with €8.90 and over €9 by 2011. Then again, if €8.70 is the average, some tent may hit €9 this year.
*remembers when the price was DM 3.90*

Plebs. Yuk. We don't wish to mingle with plebs...

You been here way too long Sarabyrd and are starting to think like the Hermans. Exact number of people invited by country? Christ - what an administration frigging nightmare, and also completely anti the whole Ethos of Europe, of which Germany is the #1 supporter. You'll get Italians pretending to be Portugese and christ knows what else.

It's already effectively restricted. If you can't get your bum on a seat, or can't get in a tent - you don't get a beer. It works fine. Just a bit of a scrum, but never keeps anyone away!

As Katrina says, until it goes over 10 euros, it really doesn't matter anymore. It is a joke though, those guys must make so much money, regardless of the cost of setup, security etc.

Which is better than their usual pretending to be big beer drinkers and fantastic lovers...

Allegedly.

once the 6 inches of foam have settled, it's never even a full litre of beer anyhoo.

You've been in touch with Americans too long, they have interfered with your ironymeter.

Profit pro Maß = €3 according to my information.

Brave the crowds and have it filled up.

Thanks to whom ever changed the name of this thread since it Originally read MASS. And seemed as though some Catholic church was now charging an entrance fee.

You can go get it topped up.

Great news about Fischer Vroni!

that sort of pricing is more likely to deter the locals than any tourists who will likely pay any price charged.
