If you have spare Oktoberfest table reservations to get rid of, advertise them here.
If you're looking for a table reservation, also post your request here.
Note that table reservations are in very high demand. Spare tickets will be snapped up very quickly. Requests for tickets will largely be in vain.
Disclaimer, also note:
When purchasing Oktoberfest beer or food vouchers offered on this forum be aware that there is no charge for the seat in the tent itself. The tents tend to come down hard on customers who charge for “tickets” to the Oktoberfest beside the vouchers' face value, or re-sell vouchers for more than face value, and subject the vendors to criminal prosecution. The vendor’s reservation and the vouchers are declared invalid, the vendor and purchaser are banned from the tent.
This discussion thread is for "wanted" and "for sale" ads only. All other chat will be removed without notice.

If anyone has tickets for opening day of Oktoberfest (Sat 9.19) and would be willing to sell them, please let me know. I'm particularly interested in the Hippodrom and Schottenhammel tents...but others would be considered.
Additionally, if you bought a larger table and have room for 2-4 others, that would also work!
Just send me a PM...I'll try to check every couple of days.

My first Oktoberfest will be this year so I don't want to take any risks with seating so i'm interested in purchasing table reservations for 4 people for the evenings during 23/09/2009 - 27/09/2009 in either "Hippodrom", "Hofbräu-Festzelt", "Hacker-Festzelt" or "
Schottenhamel".
If anyone has spare tickets to sell drop me a message and I'll certainly buy them.
Thanks, Nathan.

I'm not sure how familiar you are with how Oktoberfest works but buying the tickets (ie vouchers for beer and chicken) alone won't guarantee you entry into the tent. What you need for that is a reservation for a table (these will come with the tickets or vouchers for beer and chickens), so when you buy "tickets" off someone, make sure you get the official confirmation of the reservation.

Public service announcement: I have received replies from all tents by now - evening reservations are no longer available. The tents are very protective of them, generally awarding them to long-term (10 years or more) customers of good standing.
Four people shouldn't have too much of a hard time getting seats: Be patient, polite, good-humored and not drunk. Having a buxom lady or two in your group cannot harm but even four clear-cut guys have a chance of getting into a side entrance.
And don't forget: The beergardens outside the tents have a high turnover rate, give them a try.

Hello,
I am looking for tent reservations for opening day (Saturday, September 19th). If someone wants to sell them, please contact us sending us a PM or an email to berlinbaskonia@gmail.com
We are very interested in the following tents: Hippodrom and Hofbrau, but we are open to all tents. We are 5 people.
On the other side, if you have bought reservations for a larger table and you have enough space to add 5 people more, it will be fantastic for us.
Thank you very much.

@ Moody - Replace "two" with "four" throughout. Even on a Saturday, this can work.
No. You should not have a problem getting into one of the tents on a Sunday evening if there's only two of you.
March up to the main or side entrance (if they don't have the signs up "Wegen Überfüllung geschlossen"), go inside and ask politely if you can join a party already at a table in the non-reserved section ("Ist hier Platz für zwei?"). Or just show two fingers and point at the table.
You'll be surprised how quickly you'll make new friends.

Hi Gang,
We just booked our flights and hotels and are very excited about Oktoberfest 2009. My buddies and I are traveling from New York City and there will be 6 of us at the Wiesen on the weekend of Oct 1-4. If anyone has extra seats in their reservations please let me know ASAP. We may have some additional seats at our table in the Kafer tent on Friday (10/2) aftenoon and we would be happy to share.
Perhaps we can team up with some of you who are trying to reserve seats for a party of 2/4 to make a table of 8/10. We're a pretty clean-cut group of guys who love beer and will be training for the event all summer. Feel free to PM me.
Any ideas?

Hi!
Single male from US (sorry, I know single female from anywhere works better but I just can't bring myself to make the switch) looking for a table seat on 19th September. I understand I need a ticket and a seat to get some food at the festival so I figured I would post and see if anyone had an 'extra' one and see how much it would cost. Thanks!
Keydeck
21.Aug.2009 17:58 hrs
Trorion, that's a common misconception. You do not need any sort of ticket. During Oktoberfest many of the tables are reserved. They do this by selling vouchers in advanced for beer & food. The seat costs nothing.
As a single individual you would be better off just going to a tent, finding the unreserved section, and asking a table if you can join them. That said, on the 19th it's going to be batshit mental down there but if you're just on your own you might get lucky. Also, check some of the other threads in this section as there are often people with spare places at reserved tables looking to flog the vouchers who you could join.

Hey there,
I'm looking for a table or space at a table for six people anytime or day between September 19th - 23rd. We are very flexible regarding to which tent has availability. We have a couple of friends from NY visiting for the first time and we would love to show them a good time and have the real feeling of having a mass and a meal in a tent.
Thank you!

This is not a “personal ads”, but we are four married men, 40-something, over-the-hill and overweight, French Canadians with a funny accent looking for 6 female companions to complete our table reservation.
We have a table reservation for 10 people for the opening Saturday, September 19, at 11:30 am at the Hofbräu tent. Vouchers are 24 Euros each and include 2 beers and a half-chicken.
We’re not looking for love, romance or sex; just some sexy, decent, and most of all funny, English or French speaking, 30-45 years-old female company so we can all enjoy a good time.
All males (even well-shaved or funny), transvestites or wanna-be, aggressive or frustrated females, or any kind of sociopath, please refrain from answering.
If you think you fit the profile and are interested in joining us, please leave me a message. Laissez les bons temps rouler!

Hi
I can offer you a reservation for a table at the Hacker tent at Thursday 01.10.2009 for 10 people from 12:00 - 17:45
( after 17:45 you can surely stay inside the tent, but normally you have to leave this table )
I've bought this reservation at ebay but unfortunately we can`t use them.
After i met 5 English guys last year who paid each 100 Euros, just to get in a tent, i try to offer you a cheaper way to get inside.
There are vouchers included:
20 Maß Beer and 10 half a chicken ( price for all is 240,30€ )
I`ve paid 400€ at ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330353524924&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
if somebody want this reservation for 400€ plus shipping and handling costs (~ 40-50€ ebay,paypal...) please contact me via email: Herkules@ist-willig.de
I would prefer to sell this at ebay via paypal and "Buy it Now".
Enjoy the Wiesn

I am selling an Oktoberfest table at the Hippodrom tent for Wednesday evening September 30th, 2009.
Details:
-Reserved table for 8 people
-Full menu
-Starts at 7pm and goes to close.
This was originally a company table, but due to unforeseen events, I am afraid I have to sell. This is a pretty sweet table, ideal for someone looking to go all out at Oktoberfest with a nice big group (8 people max can sit at the table, but by the end of the night you can probably fit a few Dirndls in as well)
This is a full menu table, so each person gets a 3 course meal and 1 beer all included.
Please PM if you are interested.

I wouldn't advertise the fact that you bought a table off E-bay, nor would I recommend selling the vouchers at more than their face value (especially not with the user name Schmu). The reservation itself does not cost a cent, you only pay for the vouchers. The tents are very strict about auctioned tables and you may find you self minus the money and the vouchers and banned from the tent.

Anybody who pays €400+ for a weekday table starting at 12:00 is being completely ripped off. At that time you can walk into just about any tent and just take your pick from the empty tables.

08.Sep.2009 17:18 hrs
I know it was a bit to much, but we were all willing to pay this price. Now we had to switch the day and already bought an other reservation
and yes i know "normally" you just can go into a tent at weekdays, but i've been there last year (or year before??) on a rainy day at noon - standing 3 hours in front of a closed tent...then sitting outside till 8 o'clock.. Don't want this twice and i think 15€ extra per person is ok for having "eventually" no troubles to get inside. Hope i find someone else with this opinion...
when i have enough money in march or april i will try to get an reservation, but i think about this every year
i heard the name schmu in a movie I've seen last days and liked it seems it is a bit unprofitable...
