OKTOBERFEST 2022 OPENING DAY! Getting a table with NO reservation ~ Munich, Germany 

So cool. I was there w a girlfriend in 1970. We found seats across from a nice German couple. Ends up she's rich - owns 2 license plate factories - and had a second home on the lake in Starnberg. We stayed at her house for over a week and she drove us all over Munich and surrounds to show us the sights. Wish I could thank her again, now.

Beautiful day, best moments

Thanks Shelby, I attended the Oktoberfest in 1985 & 1986 while stationed in West Germany 🇩🇪 at the time and Enjoyed,Drank,Ate and Drank even more! I was only able to ride the Ferris Wheel 🎡 to take pictures. Now at 65yrs.young and after seeing your video and I’ve watched about 10 of them. I would like to go back one last time! Paulener and Lowenbrau tents is where I’m going and Yes 3 days this time. Good Video Danke Shun! from the High Desert 🌵 of Southern California.🙏🏾👍🏾👊🏾☮️😎

Looks like a blast. It reminds me of the Minnesota State Fair with a HUGE beer garden.

I was in Germany back in the late 70s and it was the most beautiful city I have ever seen.

Never been but, after watching this video. It’s on my bucket list now. Thanks

I went for opening day in 2017. Started at the Augustiner tent. They had a parade inside the tent at noon to start things off. Later, I went to the beer garden outside the Schottenhamel tent. Made some new friends and had a great time.

My last Army duty assignment in Germany was in Augsburg (approx 60K from Munich). My only regret was not attending Octoberfest during that time. I’ve never been a fan of beer, but still kick myself for not having attended this incredible celebration.

Holy sh%%%. The excitement!!

We tried to make reservations for four. Even though I speak German, I learned that you need a minimum of 10. If you go before lunch, you can sit, have a beer and enjoy a meal! We did. Prost!

Great video! Thank you for sharing.

This is something i have on my bucket list

Cheers 🍻 🍻 🍻

Last time I was there in 1972 (I think) they recorded just over 1 million visitors through the gate in the first week... roughly 10,200 per hour EVERY hour.. Think I'll buy some German brewery shares...

Wow so happy

Looks like fun, fun and beer go good together.

Super great video 👍🥳

We should see more of the Shelby in the video, especially with Pigtails, it's a good look for you.

Have a wonderful October ! Ànd a great New Year's ! // thanks

THANK YOU

Cool vid!

During the weekdays, table reservations are not required. I've attended Oktoberfest for 5 years and I've NEVER had a problem getting a table

HERD !!!

Everyone says it is so hard to make friends with Germans. I guess all it takes is some beer! Looking forward to this is if I get the job I want in Germany!

I'm watching the Beer girls describe the different Beers...That's how fucking much I like Beer Boys and Germs...

I did Oktoberfest in in the Löwenbräu Beer tent......und est war sehr gut....

My daughter and friends got in early and grabbed a table that was not reserved. An older German woman came over and literally pushed them off the table and yelled at them. The table was not reserved. She was "holding" the table to then sell the spaces. "Authorities" sided with her. Despite that negative incident they still had a blast. I did it back in 1999, had a blast. Didn't care about the table.

you didnt happen to get footage of me while I was on the stage at the Hofbrauhaus tent did you lol I'm editing my vlog right now

good vlog 💕

wrong tent, in the Löwenbräu you will meet very few people from Munich or from Bavaria

Is that midway open year around? Fun video.

going next year!

Northern German, here. I had to research it because I have no clue but couldn’t believe. Turns out: Some Australian people invented this drinking out of shoes thing on the Oktoberfest a few years ago🤢

Thanks for this amazing video, i am a beer person too, and i am curious to know the price of that big GLASS of BEER ? thanks !! keep it up!

Awesome video thanks for sharing, as much as I’d love to visit for Oktoberfest I don’t know if I could handle the crowds and the drunk idiots

Chugging beer at Oktoberfest is actually not allowed. People do it to rebel and flaunt the rules. That is part of the reason why they are cheering. This also made big news this year in Germany there were so many instances of it happening with fewer people getting punished. This was also one of the least visited years, since it was the first one in two years. It was not like security or the owners did not witness it.

Sampede to the water hole so you can pay 15€ for a beer when you can buy the same beer for 2€ at the local store.

I'm going this year, got hotel reserved already!

Wish I was there

I was in that tent at a table in the same area as you in 2017 and had a great time. I was an older attendee, 47, and along with my coworker we hooked up with a group of younger 20 somethings who are native to the Munich area. I have to say the perspective from a local is a little different on the chugging and shoe nonsense. 1. Chugging a liter, or mass, of beer is moronic. That is something done to become stupidly drunk and get attention. It is not a German behavior. I was in the tent for over 10 hours and drank 5 mass of beer, never having more than a mellow buzz and never getting sick because I, like the locals, do not drink like idiots. Whenever we saw someone doing this you could tell they were going to crash within an hour or so and they were inevitably the ones we saw cut off or even ejected. 2. Standing on the benches is perfectly fine and the norm. When not eating we spent hours standing on the benches and singing with our beer in our hands. Standing on the tables is the behavior of a barbarian and not allowed. 3. Chugging from a shoe... As my new friends from Munich said when they saw this, "he is not German." Somehow this became a thing and it seems to be overwhelmingly done by American kids, especially those who have already chugged a mass. Morons. It was a little embarrassing as the only unruly behavior I saw was from American kids there becoming ridiculously drunk as fast as possible. That is not Octoberfest. Overall it is the most fun I have had at a party ever, all the better for the wonderful people I met there.

Did you only have to wait until noon because it was the first day or is it like that everyday?

I can barely contain myself 🧐

Wait 4-5 hours for beer, not for me.

Which city would be the best to enjoy October fest?

The Beer Festival disguised as an Amusement Park disguised as a Beer Festival. I went a looooooong time ago and was stunned at the size and scale of the location where Oktoberfest is held.

Nice to see the video but would've been better to have some actual audio. Without it, it didn't seem real.

why not real sound?

I would like to attempt to constructively criticize this video in the hope that it may be of use in future. It is my opinion, that instead of saying that it was not possible to understand what was happening because it was in a foreign language, that it may be more useful to delete the chill music and allow your audience try to hear and understand what was actually being said on stage. Doing so would offer us the opportunity to try and figure out for ourselves what was going on, and at the same time enjoy hearing the real thing. This video is very appealing visually - well done! but it lacks depth because it does not allow any authentic audio. Thank you for allowing me to comment.

Kind of silly but interesting I don't like to drink maybe that's why I find it silly maybe if it was baseball tickets. I would understand it.

berghain for mass produced people^^

Munchen kann hauptstadt von bundesrepublik Deutschlandt sein!

Germany is not the right country to go for beer. 😊

shocking: growingup in Muscat and living last 22 years in USA, 99% desi are "Laqueer Ke Faqeer" driving Honda and Toyota and basically doing nothing but Gheebat. good to see out of box thinkng and actions...........

I'M SCARED, I CAN'T RUN, I don't drink beer, I don't party, I talk really slow. There's no way I would go anywhere with you

I WENT TO VISVADEN AND I WENT TO EVENT TO DRINK WARM WINE SO DELICIOUS

Всё это какая то глупость. Много людей и суеты

they also call us drunks, bruises don’t run to us like you do
