One of our lads is on crutches and another is visually impaired.
If the game finishes around 22.45, is this do-able by the U/S-bahn?
Thanks.
Yes but don't mess about. If one of you is on crutches you may need 15 or 20 minutes to the U-Bahn station, then allow about 30 minutes to the Hbf.

You won't meet many locals in there. Also it's expensive, the beer by Munich standards is average and they allow no football colours, home or away team.

You can feel the history in the place and it's an amazing building but it certainly wouldn't be my first choice.

Jumping ahead a bit Bayern's website is now stating "Ticket allocation for Manchester City away heavily overbooked, no further applications will be considered.".

Sorry, but the first 2 parts are not really true!bayern blade said:You won't meet many locals in there. Also it's expensive, the beer by Munich standards is average and they allow no football colours, home or away team.
I like to go into the Hofbräuhaus! I like the international atmosphere and I'm not the only local there.
It's THE hotspot for tourists in Munich. And I know other places in other cities who take tourists to the cleaner's. You can't say that at the Hofbräuhaus!
It's not cheap (this year the price for 1l beer unfortunately increased by ca. 0.5 EUR to 7.3 EUR; downtown you should be happy to find 0.5l beer for less than 3 EUR), but it's fair for such a hotspot.

Everything else would have been a miracle... So what? ;-)bayern blade said:Jumping ahead a bit Bayern's website is now stating "Ticket allocation for Manchester City away heavily overbooked, no further applications will be considered.".

Found this on one of the offical munich sites - not going to be cheap!!
"The prices for both beer and non-alcoholic beverages for the Oktoberfest 2011 have been announced and to nobody’s surprise, prices have gone up again.
This year, the beer price will break through another invisible barrier – the 9€ mark. Depending on tent and brewery, a “Mass”, a liter of beer, will cost you between 8.70€ and 9.20€. Last year’s most expensive beer cost you 8.90€.
The tent owners and breweries state that costs like erecting and maintaining the tents have gone up, just like the wages for the workers. Critics, as every year, respond to that with the argument, that the breweries already make an immense profit from the beer tents at the Oktoberfest and that they could still do just fine without raising the beer price every year.
An important thing to know is that the city of Munich doesn’t have much of a say when it comes to the beer price at the Oktoberfest. The breweries set a certain price, about which the city of Munich is then informed. The only thing the city of Munich does, is to check, whether this price is adequate or not. This is done by comparing the Oktoberfest beer price to what you pay for your beer in other places in Munich. Usually, you would pay between 6.60€ and 8.80€ for a liter of beer somewhere else in Munich – but without the special Oktoberfest atmosphere in a specially erected beer tent or the free brass band to entertain you.
Also guests, who won’t drink any beer, will be affected by the rise in prices, as non-alcoholic beverages will get more expensive, too: A liter of water will cost you around 7€ instead of 6.80€ last year".
