Spectators of Winter Olympics in Sochi complain about long queues at ticket offices
Russian fans told about long queues at the ticket offices of the Olympics in Sochi at buying tickets to the events of the 2014 Games. At the same time, they praise the good organization of the Olympic Games, the work of volunteers and the creation of a barrier-free environment for invalids.
Since the opening of the 22nd Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, huge queues accumulate at ticket offices, spectators told the "Caucasian Knot" correspondent. They assert that they have to spend on the average from 2 to 6 hours to buy or just to take out the earlier paid tickets at the central ticket office, located at the railway station of Sochi.
The spectators attending the competitions of speed skaters in the "Adler-Arena" Palace, located in the Coastal Cluster, state that they like the organization of the competition, the transport logistics, as well as the work of volunteers in the Olympic Park, at sports arenas and other facilities.
Earlier, the "Caucasian Knot" reported that the views of Sochi residents on the Winter Games and their impact on the city divided: on the one hand, the preparations for the Olympics brought great benefits to Sochi as a resort; on the other hand, many social problems of the city have remained unresolved. Besides, each of those, who stated some social and personal problems, said that he or she were not going to attend the events.
Let us remind you that according to the "Levada Centre", not more than 20 percent of Russians were going to closely trace the competitions of the 2014 Games.
