More “Zicke Zacke,” more “Oi Oi Oi” with new Oktoberfest VIP tickets in La Crosse
Oktoberfest VIP ticket holders receive early entry to the Tapping of the Golden Keg, separate restrooms, entrance, and more.
Sick of waiting in line to see the Tapping of the Golden Keg? Have you always wanted to be right up front, up close and personal with the Oktoberfest Royal Family?
Now is your chance with the 2022 addition of Oktoberfest VIP tickets.
