Going to see the Saints play in London and making a day trip to Munich for Oktoberfest. Cheap flights on easy jet. Do I need tickets in advance for the beer tents? What are the best tents? Any other advice? TIA

Are you a Protestant or a history buff?
500 year anniversary of the Reformation is 31 October 2017.

Do you know anyone in Germany, as the tickets for the tables at most tents are already gone. So you would need to snag one that way.
The times I have been there without tickets, I have been relegated to the standing area at the HOfbrau house, and if you get there early during the weekdays, it is never an issue. And the Hofbrau house standing area is fun and mainly tourists. I know it sounds cliche, but tip the waitresses as most European do not and she will make sure to always get you beer.
The other tents where you get there early and they have unreserved seats is Hacker Pschorr and the Schutzen tent. The problem with these is once you get in, you have to pretty well sit and keep your spot as most places will not serve beer unless you have a table.
If you are young, they do have some great afterparties. I did go to the Lowenbrau one, it is cheesy German Schlager Pop Music, but why not.
As you probably have read, there is a fair that surrounds the tents and there are some cool little places to get beers with all others who could not get in.
Have fun

How many people? Go on a weekday if possible. If it's a weekend, go early and you'll be fine if it's just a couple of people. No reservations needed. Walk in to any tent, find an open spot at a table, and make friends. Everyone is drunk and having a great time.
You'll love it. Have fun!

Drink as much of the Augustiner beer as you can. It is, by far, my favorite. Augustiner is the only one left that still serves straight from the oak barrels they were aged in.
