There are two of us visiting the Oktoberfest in Munich.

I don't have ten people for a table so how do we reserve and pay ahead from the US?

Reservations for less than 10 persons?

Hi Pat,

sorry to tell you, but minimum number for Oktoberfest reservations is one table (10 persons).

This is the bad news, but there's good news too:

For 2 persons you don't need a reservation. It is very probably to get into any beer tent and find a space at the table with other people.

Just remember a few things:

- go on weekdays! Weekends and especially Saturdays the beer tents are packed and usually don't let any more people inside

- go early, way before 4 p.m! Many tables are reserved after 4 p.m., so you can sit there until the "owners" arrive

- once you're inside the tent, you have already passed the biggest challenge, now you can freely walk around and search for two seats

- ask nicely if people allow you to sit at their table (many do, others don't)

- don't get discouraged, you might have to ask at 5-10 different tables

- ask the waitress if she has a place for you somewhere (if you find one who seems to be in a good mood)

Good luck and have fun!
