Oktoberfest table available

The Schottenhamel tent has reported a ring of four dealers/false bidders to the District Attorney who is now investigating for fraud and assistance to fraud.
One member of the gang, located in Paderborn, reserved "at least five" tables at the Schottenhamel and more tables in other tents under various alias identities and offered them on E-Bay. Reservations for Sundays were sold for €150, for Fridays or Saturdays for up to €670 - for the table only, the vouchers had to be purchased separatetly. If offers were slow in coming, the other members of the gang, located in Kitzingen and Ottobrunn, would bid, or the purchaser would buy his own tickets under an alternative E-Bay identity and then re-offer them.
Any reservations made by this person have been cancelled, so the people who bought the table and vouchers were/will be turned back at the door without a chance of legal redress towards Schottenhamel.
Schottenhamel provided the DA with documentation of the bidding, quoting the seller's offer of "reservation for ten people in the Festhalle Schottenhamel where the atmosphere is the best to be had", along with the information that "the auction price is for the reservation only, in addition you must purchase two beer and one chicken voucher per person".
Christian Schottenhamel, owner and manager of the Schottenhamel tent, has again stressed the fact that there is no charge for table reservations but that when reserving a table you are required to purchase the beer and meal vouchers. He also mentioned that at least one other person is suspected of illegal deals with table reservations in his tent.
Caveat emptor!

Sent you a pm.

Most definitely do NOT stick it on eBay, you can get yourself into all kinds of trouble. The tents are dead against this and trawl eBay and other online auction sites for offers.
