I was trying to figure out the logistics, but it appears that Oktoberfest starts September 18, which is during the Vienna event. I figured that if anyone was trying to go to both, they would head over to Munich after the DO, but I wanted to get an understanding of whether people are trying to do both.

Mrs uk1 and I will be there from 17th (OS452 ....1D+1F ... say hello if anyone's on the same flight) ..... until 20th (OS455 1D + 1F) and staying at IC. We're up for most things but have the Swiss House very firmly in mind and Figls at Grinzing but happy for anything except dressing up or the tower. (Heights!). Also happy to take a group of suspects to our friend Ronny's bar which is not to noise and in the triangle. He is a real hoot and very welcoming.
My birthday on 17th and mrs uk1 on the 19th - so it's quite a celebration for us and it had to be VIE!
Hope to meet fellow FT'ers staying there particularly those at the IC ...... in the lounge ..............

Forgive some further dumb questions ... but for some of us first timers ...
1. Figlmullers. Obviously the original place is probably too small to accomadate all of us together so is it the newer one round the corner? And do you just book tables and we all arrive? I presume we just order off the menu?
2. The Heurige. I know from being too close to several Japanese groups in the past (no disrespect intended ....) that the heuriges love set menus or buffets. Is this a prearranged coach/bus and a set menu or buffet or do we all meet there and choose what we want.
I only ask because I'm under orders from 'er indoors not to mess her trip up and avoid any misunderstandings!
Thanks for your patience.

Just noticed that the come together party has moved from Friday to Thursday and an official Pre-DO event has been added on Friday.
I booked my ticket back in January before SWISS Business Saver fares increased (in fact disappeared ex-UK completely) and won't arrive in VIE until 14:10 on Friday.

So why is it not 16th - 19th?

I didn't realize that until seeing this post, so thanks for the heads up. If I make this Do I'll fly down from AMS on Thurs aft so I can attend the Austrian Airline Pre-Do event on Fri. After touring ORD, EWR, FRA, and IAD airports/behind the scenes w/ FTers, it's a must-attend event (ie, I'm turning into an airport junkie).
Cheers.
