Overview

• Entrances to the Theresienwiese were shut from about 17:00 to 18:00 on Oct. 3 because the site was overfilled, and the grounds reopened that evening.
• Roughly 300,000 people were on the site at the peak, with fest tents and beer gardens closed to walk‑ins and main U-Bahn gates at Theresienwiese temporarily sealed.
• Bavarian Interior Minister Joachim Herrmann said searches found absolutely nothing threatening after Wednesday’s bomb threat and stated the Wiesn is as safe as before.
• Organizers warn of ongoing access restrictions for the finale, and DWD forecasts of strong gusts could force temporary ride stoppages under wind‑strength‑8 safety rules.
• Hosts report heavy revenue losses from the midweek disruption and are offering rebooking, voucher use or refunds, while calls to extend the season were rejected.
