Hi Gail,
Reservations to the beer tents at Oktoberfest are usually made during January and February.
For this year, you're much too late, because the Wiesn is about to start in less than three weeks.
If you want to make a reservation, you first have to pick the tent you'd like to go. Usually you need to write a letter or fax to the beer tent owner (check their websites for contact address and/or instructions).
The fax should contain number of persons (multiples of 10), as well as date and time you'd like to reserve.
A few weeks to months later you'll receive an answer from them, either with your confirmation or with a polite letter telling you that unfortunately they were not able to give you a reservation.
