To the Wiesn by underground, S-Bahn, tram and bus

HandyTicket without an app and without registration

The Münchner Vekehrsgesellschaft (MVG) is expanding its digital ticketing offerings: Starting immediately, passengers can purchase select MVV tickets directly through the new online ticket shop for the first time. The tickets can be purchased without downloading an app or registering, and can then be saved directly to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet.

With this new offering, the MVG is making access to public transit even easier. Tourists, business travelers, and occasional riders without a subscription, monthly pass, or weekly pass will particularly benefit from the straightforward ticket-purchasing process, which takes just a few steps.

Convenient Travel to the Wiesn 

Just in time for Oktoberfest, the MVG is making it even easier for guests from Germany and abroad to purchase tickets: QR codes at central hubs in Munich take visitors directly to the online ticket shop. There, they can purchase their ticket in just a few steps, save it to their digital wallet, and use it immediately.

In doing so, MVG is creating another simple way to use Munich’s public transit system while also making it easier for visitors to find their way around Munich during Oktoberfest.

Travelling by public transport at Oktoberfest time - info & tips

• At Oktoberfest time, the S-Bahn and U-Bahn, buses and trams run more frequently than usual, but of course it can sometimes be a bit of a squeeze. However, as the Theresienwiese is very centrally located, the distances are short.
• A special highlight: the stewards at Theresienwiese underground station, who ensure safety on the platform with a lot of humour and Bavarian charm (‘Geht's hoid viere, dann miasst's eich ned derbazn!’).
• The Theresienwiese station is naturally at its busiest during the Oktoberfest. If you are travelling with children, for example, it is better to use the Goetheplatz, Poccistraße or Schwanthalerhöhe underground stations.
• To travel to the Wiesn using public transport, MVV day tickets and single tickets can be conveniently purchased online via the MVG’s Web2Wallet ticket shop and saved directly to your smartphone—no app or registration required. Payment can be made using Apple Pay or Google Pay; the ticket is valid and ready for use immediately after purchase. The ticket shop is expected to be available starting in early September.
