munich octoberfest
 

so i am going to munich from 27/september-03/October. I am going solo. I am female in my late 30s.

1. Am i going to be bored there for that long?

2. I know i have waited too long to book a place to stay but is there any other place to stay that is less the £50/night. I am looking at hostels and that is how much the ones left are charging. And for Saturday night it is £120/for a hostel.

Please any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'll be there for the last weekend. To be honest, you've left it a bit late and hostels in/around big drinking events are rarely a good idea. ;)

I'm sorry, but I can't help you out with accommodation. Oktoberfest is a huge event, though I think after two days at the Wiesn, on your own, you'll have had enough! There are many other things to do in the region!

what else in the area
 

what else in the area should i do?

Hotels/hostels in Munich during Oktoberfest are now either already fully booked or extremely pricy. I've heard of people staying in Nuremberg and taking the train down for the Oktoberfest just to avoid the issue (that's over 90 miles).

Many Museums, the alps, the Allgäu etc. If you are bored depends on what you expect. If you like nice conversations, high class Entertainment etc. I guess you will be bored. If you like to drink a lot, to meet drunken and intrusive males etc, you could spend more than a week. I`m perhaps not the best adviser as Octoberfest and other Volksfeste are a Horror to me, but in the end it`s in large parts a big drinking-fest.

Also, have you tried the "Search this Forum" feature on the opening page for this forum? I'm sure that you'll find a lot of suggestions that might fit your interests, whatever they may be.

Just one example:

Last year we camped without reservation at The Munich- Thalkirchen Camping Site. A shuttle at the campground takes you to the U-Bahn which goes to the "Wiesn", the fairgrounds where the beer tents are located. Check out the website, destination-munich.com/camping-in-munich.html for other camping options. Thalkirchen was loud, busy and fabulous fun! Cheap, too...for two of us, our tent, and car was about 15E.

I know this is really odd, I'm sorry, could someone tell me how to start a thread, I have no idea?

There is a button "New Thread" at the upper left corner below "MyFlyertalk" and atop of the list of threads

But not once you're already reading a thread. Back out a level to the forum index and you'll see the button.

I was 2 times there and there i nothing special.When you try to sit in a Beer Tend if feel like Tokio Subway and its so noisy you cant understand the guy next to you. The Price for Beer and Food are extreme hight and just from the Supermarket.

Have you really been to the Oktoberfest? A litre of beer is EUR9 and the food (roast chicken, port knuckle, etc, is delicious for the most part).

sure i get invitation from an Company for.
Outside many People who Pee in every corner and see the beer and food twice...
When i want to see stupid drunk people i can visit my some local bar in my area.

So I would decline the invitation in future. It's a big public booze feet. What do you expect! I'm invited every year by clients, usually to the Käfer tent or another smaller one. It's really quite respectable.

2 extremes - ToGo and LondonElite;) You like this Events or not. I`m more with ToGo but know many People who really enjoy it.... So everyone must experience with own eyes...
