Overview

• On Oct. 3 the Theresienwiese stopped admitting visitors for about an hour from roughly 17:00 to 18:00 as the press office counted around 300,000 people on site.
• On Oct. 4 the main gate was closed temporarily during the late‑afternoon peak, with visitors directed to side entrances before the gate reopened.
• During the reservation change window, large tents typically shut their main doors between about 16:00 and 18:00, leaving non‑reserved guests little chance of entry.
• Following the bomb threat earlier in the week, police searched the grounds for hours with dozens of detection dogs and hundreds of officers, found no explosives, and the festival reopened.
• The weather service warns of strong winds that could require suspending rides under DIN rules, and hosts report substantial revenue losses from Wednesday’s disruption.
