Bavaria ticket

I am traveling to the Oktoberfest this year and will be flying into Stuttgart airport and going by train to munich. Can anyone give advice on rail tickets i.e purchase a return trip to Munich or purchase Bavaria ticket along with ticket to Bavaria border (not sure which station this would be, maybe Ulm??)There will be around 18 people traveling.

Any info greatly appreciated.

Danke, Paul

With 18 persons you can buy group tickets. Discounts of up to 70% are possible if you book in advance. But you cannot buy these tickets online.

If you stick to regional trains

1. Mo-Fr

a combination of Baden-Württemberg Ticket (EUR 28,00 for 2-5 persons) and Bavaria Ticket (EUR 28,00 for 2-5 persons)

2. Sa or Su

Happy-Weekend-Ticket. EUR 35,00 for up to 5 persons.

The cheapest way would be just buying four Baden-Württemberg-Tickets and four Bavaria Tickets, but you can use only slower local trains with several changes.

With 18 persons you are eligible for huge discounts on normal train tickets - I think as much as 60% from normal price. But you cannot buy the tickets online - you have to go to the counter in Stuttgart airport or call Deutsche Bahn.
