It looks like I will be in Munich for the first two days of the Fest. I know, I’m going to be there on the first weekend and it will be busy, but that’s just how it’s going to work out.

When shall I start looking for hotel/hostel accomodations for the 2005 Fest? What can one expect to pay for a bier at the Fest? What really is the best time of day to get to the Fest, particularly on the first two days?

Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks.
