I was going to go and get lunch whilst passing the octoberfest today but can anyone explain what you get for your $25 entry fee? Do you get any beer or food included?

Apart from the odd amber liquid, this looks like it could have been taken at the local primary school.
No expense spared by the decorators at Oktoberfest then?
What? you want Jason Recliners & Westminster carpet to vomit on after consuming 20 steins of putrid German beer, kransky & sauerkraut?
