Oktoberfest Sold Out- Any Suggestions?!

I have been trying - calling and faxing for a reservation for a seating either in the on Saturday Sept 20 or morning, noon, evening on Sunday the 21st. I cannot get anything! Please tell me there is still hope that we will be able to get into a tent on both of these days! What is the best way to do so? Thanks!!

Be there as early as you can on the day you wish to attend and bring a little bit of patience. Especially if you're under 4 people finding seating is not that big of a challenge. Be prepared to be split into groups of two for the beginning but since there is plenty of fluctuation during the days eventually even 4 people will end up sitting around the same table.

I wouldn't worry. My wife and I went on a Sunday this past year. It was busy but we squeezed in with some Norwegians and were the best of friends a couple of hours later. But do try to get there the earlier the better.
Or I'd try to go on a week day.
We're going back this year it was so much fun.

Prost!

My group of four never had a problem. We went into every tent and never had a reservation. Early in the afternoon we always sat together. By four or five we would get in no problem, but we'd be split up for a while, often as singles. We met many people from all over the world we may not have met had we been seated together. The servers never forgot us either, we always ended up together at some point. I'm very comfortable going back without any tent reservations.
