These Reservation Conditions apply to all reservations and voucher orders between the Ochsenbraterei Haberl OHG (hereinafter also: “Ochsenbraterei” or “we” or “us”) and guests of the Ochsenbraterei (hereinafter also: “guest” or “you”) for our marquee.

2. Subject Matter of the Contract

Subject matter of the contract is the reservation of tables and/or boxes as well as the purchase of consumption vouchers. Reservations are only possible with simultaneous minimum purchase (minimum consumption) of the consumption vouchers required for the respective reservation. Please refer to the information provided to you prior to submitting your reservation request for the minimum purchases for the respective seats. In the following, the reservation of seats and the purchase of vouchers are jointly referred to as “reservation”.

3. Conclusion of Contracts for Reservations

(1) Reservation requests can be made via our reservation portal on our website or via our tent office at the Theresienwiese. The reservation on our website requires the creation of a user account. For the creation, use and administration of the user account, our terms of use apply in addition. In the event of an contradiction, these Reservation Conditions shall take precedence.

(2) In the case of a reservation request via the website, the reservation comes into effect as follows: Your reservation request represents your offer to make a reservation. If we accept the reservation requested by you, you will receive a confirmation from us by e-mail or in the reservation portal.

(3) In the tent office on the Theresienwiese, reservations can be concluded by declaring a contract directly on site.

4. Rights and Obligations of the Ochsenbraterei

(1) In the event of a reservation, we will provide you with seats for the number of persons specified in the reservation and the respective agreed reservation time.

(2) After payment of the amount invoiced in accordance with Section 7 and the granting of the concession by the City of Munich, we will send you the contractual consumption vouchers and a reservation confirmation to the address you have provided. In case of short-term reservations or reservations in the tent office, the consumption vouchers and the reservation confirmation will not be sent. The consumption vouchers must be collected by you from the tent office on the Theresienwiese on the day of the reservation. If the reservation is made at times when, according to our experience, a tent may be closed due to overcrowding, we will also send you numbered reservation bands at the same time as the reservation confirmation, which can be used for preferential access to the tent in the event of overcrowding. The reservation bands are valid only at the time of reservation and only in connection with the reservation confirmation or a copy of the reservation confirmation. Upon request, the reservation confirmation must be presented in addition to the reservation bands.

(3) We are obliged to keep the reserved seats free for you at the beginning of the confirmed reservation time until a maximum of 15 minutes after the beginning of the confirmed reservation time. If you do not take the reserved seats or do not take them completely during this period, the seat reservation shall expire with regard to the seats not taken. The consumption vouchers shall retain their validity.

(4) If you leave the table or the box in whole or in part during the reservation period, the reservation shall expire with respect to the seats left and they may be used by other guests.

(5) Standing places in the reservation area are not permitted for fire safety reasons. Remaining in the aisles in the reservation area after the reservation time is not permitted for safety reasons (escape/rescue route).

(6) We may continue to inform you by e-mail about the possibility of making a reservation after the conclusion of a reservation, unless you notify us that you no longer wish to do so.

(7) We or third parties will regularly take photos and videos during the event. The focus here is on the representation of larger groups or the atmosphere in the marquee. In this context, it is unavoidable that you may be visible on photo or video material. We carry out the processing of such image data, which is permissible without explicit consent within the scope of the provisions of § 23 para. 2 No. 2, 3 of the German Art Copyright Act (KUG) (images of persons as “incidental”), on the basis of our legitimate interest in self-promotion in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

5. Rights and Obligations of the Guests

(1) By making a reservation, you are entitled to use the reserved seats during the reservation time and to exchange the purchased consumption vouchers for food and drinks.

(2) Your reservation time may be followed by further reservations by other guests. At the end of the reservation period, you are therefore obliged to vacate the seats.

(3) The consumption vouchers sold by us can be redeemed at other times of the same year in our marquee at the Oktoberfest, regardless of the perception of the reservation. Unused consumption vouchers can be used in other Haberl Group establishments after the end of the Oktoberfest.

(4) The reservation of the seats is made for you as our contractual partner. You undertake not to transfer the reservation and the reservation bands to third parties.

In particular, it is forbidden to resell or offer for sale reservations or reservation bands at excessive prices or with the direct intention of making a profit. It is also prohibited to resell or offer for sale the reservation or reservation bands to commercial resellers or to resell or offer for sale the reservation or reservation bands to third parties unknown to you through internet platforms, unless this is done through our portal on our website. We are not obligated to make seats available to a reservation confirmation holder who is not our contracting party. In the event of a breach of your obligations under this Section 5, we are entitled to withdraw from the contract concluded with you and to claim damages.

(5) If you are unable to make your reservation in person, you are obliged to inform us in writing or in text form (e.g. by e-mail) so that we can release the reserved seats. Even if you are unable to make the reservation, you remain entitled to use the vouchers you have purchased.

(6) The consumption of food and beverages brought along is prohibited. For security reasons, we reserve the right to carry out a bag check at the entrance.
