When buying tickets for individual events, allow two to three hours in between events- it may take that long to get from one venue to the next. Spectator Passes You cannot gain entrance to the 2014 Winter Olympics with just a ticket alone. You must also obtain a "spectator pass" involving a background check by the Russian government.
