Are there any tents that have unreserved seats during the evening on weekends?
by Tom
Could you tell me if there are any tents that keep areas of seats free for those without reservations (on a first come first served basis) for the evenings on weekends?

Hi Tom,
yes, all beer tents at the Oktoberfest are required by the city of Munich to keep a certain amount of seats without reservation.
This is the case on weekdays and on weekends as well, morning and evening.
But, there is one catch to it: in the evening these seats will already be occupied.
As those unreserved seats are on a "first come first serve" basis, many people arrive on weekends around noon to the beer tents in order to gather a seat. Once they have it, they usually don't leave anymore :-(
The tent owners will not "kick out" people already sitting at a table, to make space for new people arriving in the evening.
