You might check Stubhub or Ticketmaster for reservations. When we went several years ago, we were able to obtain reservations for a Sunday morning seating in the Spaten tent from an individual that lived in the Munich area. The tents are all gaily decorated and seats thousands. Each tent features entertainment - mostly American songs! Everything is amazing well organized and ran smoothly in the typical German fashion. We saw very little rowdy drunkenness. The tickets included 2 enormous beers and a chicken dinner. As a non drinker, I enjoyed people watching! Gave my beer tickets to US servicemen. If you are not a beer drinker, there is a wine tent. There are lots of carnival rides and booths selling decorated cookies. Oktoberfest should be on everyone’s bucket list! The amazing thing is that after the festival, the grounds are cleaned, the tents go away, and the acreage is perfectly empty.
