Getting TO/AROUND: S-bahn, U-bahn and lots of trams and buses make an absolutely great system of transportation !
All of the S-bahn-trains S1 - S8 run through the centre of Munich and Hackerbrücke -shown on my pic - is the best place to leave the train for Theresienwiese & Oktoberfest !

There is a U-bahn-station directely at Theresienwiese - also called "Theresienwiese" - but it is a lot more crowded and you have to "fight" to get in or out at the station...

Normally I take a dayticket for the inner circle ( Tageskarte für den Innenraum ) - good for all transportations between Ostbahnhof , Olympiapark and Pasing.

Only when you intend to go to the airport , to Dachau, Starnberg and other places - you need a ticket for the whole area

Controls are made quite often, also and especially during Oktoberfest - and these people may not be recognized by a uniform ( but sometimes by the way they behave before entering a train) !!!

Getting TO/AROUND: especially during Oktoberfest it is the very best, to stay away with your private car from the centre of Munich, as you will have to share the streets with horse-carriages, drawn by 6 horses, like shown on my picture.
These horses are well trained to walk next to the car-trafic, and each horse will also be accompanied by an attendant, walking beside the horse, but sometimes things get out of hands....

These kind of transportations are made quite often, as a kind of advertisment for the breweries and also for the inns outside of Oktoberfest, and they will stop there for a while in front of the inn (like here in Schwantalerstrasse) and all the cars parked there cannot go out of their parking...
