Oktoberfest Begins
O’zockt is: Why a quarter of a duck costs 31 euros
It happens every year—and every year it gets a little more expensive: At Oktoberfest in Munich, it’s time to say “O’zapft is!” once again. More than six million visitors don’t want to miss out on the fun, including up to 500,000 Austrians. And that’s despite the fact that prices for beer, food, and rides have once again reached record highs this year: Here’s a comprehensive overview of the most expensive and (relatively) cheapest treats.
Visitors know that with current Maß prices reaching up to 15.90, Oktoberfest isn’t exactly a cheap outing. In recent years, for example, a couple paid as much as 173 euros for two half-ducks and three beer mugs in a festival tent—a meal that would cost an average of about 60 to 70 euros in a Bavarian restaurant. In 2025, the price of beer alone rose by an average of 6.12 percent. Our tip for this year: Bring even more money with you!
Here are the prices for a Maß, chicken, rides, and more, compared year over year:
