Oktoberfest Opening Weekend!

Hello all,

Wife and I have a tour booked for opening day but the tour ends at 4 PM. I'm wondering if we will be able to stay in the Hofbrau tent after that or if we should just plan on finding another then for Sat night. (Yeah, good luck, right?) Some say it's possible to stay but I'm not so sure.

Sunday, we plan to watch the morning costume parade, and then wing it at d'Wiesen. Try all of the rides, checkout the smaller tents and stands, and later on find a big tent for Sun night which sounds possible according to this forecast.

Any thoughts, opinions on our chances for staying in the tent Saturday night or spontaneously finding one Sunday night?

Thanks!

The problem with staying is that the Hofbrau tent (or any other tent for that matter) will probably have made reservations for another group at the table you are sitting at starting at 4 pm. So you can certainly stay at the Oktoberfest grounds till closing, but you will loose your seats. Maybe find seats outside the tents at the Biergarten tables.
