Question 5 is "final" so maybe it's a hint or it's just the final question.

I'd say Physics, Litterature, Foreign languages (it's russia), medicine/biology, music, sports. Reminds me a lot of what I was doing at school when I was younger. Maths, history and geography would miss. But that does not lead to any breakthrough or finite list where 1 item would miss. At least not for me.

Searching all of the terms (other than the RU medicine one) leads to
https://gist.github.com/jorendorff/5359e0ef9dc41326e66f3f6a3b84a118
General Relativity 1877
Google Books 6501
Medicine??? 4522 or 2154
Adidas 3015
Musical Theater 3143
Opel 2285
"You have enough people to be able to google the answer." - this is worded very strangely.... Why "enough people"?

Enough people might be in relation to the 96 tickets

That was posted after we got all the tickets, so I thought it was in reference to the pictures.

Currently I think that phrase means that the answer is poorly googleable (very loosely based on the images or just too obscure), so that many people have to try to google it in various ways.
However, googling random stuff without any sense of direction doesn't look very fun, so I hope for another explanation.

Just free-associating on the six images:
Earth, Gravity, Rotation, Green, Blue, Physics, Space, Einstein, e=mc2, General Theory of Relativity, 1915, Space-time, warped, 430X300
Book, Read, Written, White, Library, Fantasy, First published book -1455, Imagination 482X300
Medical, Doctor, Cure, 465X300
Shoe,Sneaker, Yellow, Cleats, Soccer, Adidas X, Invention of soccer cleats - 1525, 447X229
Notes, Music, Scale, Invention of musical notation - 1025 or 1026, 422x300
Car, Auto, Red, opel kapitan 1939, Invention of first car - 1885/1886, 491X299
It could be anagram of six letters or 12...

I found a link from the car image to a russian site - possible correlation with the medicine image? Also possibly irrelevant, but I have found other variations of a handful of these images that include pieces that were at some point edited out of the versions we were given. I've found the car photo, but with a license plate number, the photo of the music with a handful of extra butterflies, and the medicine photo with an extra stack of capsules.

This thread seems to be in need of another bump. I'm thinking about this hint:
You have enough people to be able to google the answer.
What does that really mean? When can googling depend on the number of people?
Does that mean that googling this answer relies on luck a lot, and we all should google random strings loosely based on the images? ("musical gravity book drugs running car" or "physics machine melody medicine shoes novel")
Or is there another way in which many people can google something that one can't?

OK, one possible interpretation:
A1: physics (science)
A2: knowledge
B1: medicine (another scientific field or maybe a reference to its subject, us humans)
B2: running fast
C1: art
C2: technology
And don't forget those Matrix references.
All this might be connected through the idea of the technological singularity:
the hypothesis that the invention of artificial superintelligence will abruptly trigger runaway technological growth, resulting in unfathomable changes to human civilization.

Got images from Nordhbane's comment and searched the on google.
It gave me the following suggestions:

Posting a clarification on the format of the last needed answer for the entrance puzzle.
The answer is either a single word or more words separated by spaces. It's plain text with no use to any kind of encryption.
So either :

I thought that maybe the word 'final' was a hint, like we are looking for the final form of every picture (final model of the Opel Kapitän, final of the last world cup etc), but maybe that's a bit far-fetched because for some of the pictures there isn't really an answer (whats the final form of music?)...

What about this? The index says:
2.1 Modern Book Printing
2.2 Milestones of Medicine
2.3 Masterpieces of Music
2.4 The Automobile
2.5 The Modern Football Boot
2.6 Theory of Relativity
I think is the correct way!
edit: SOLVED!!

Try googling for example "theory of relativity book football shoes". You even do not need all the items for this wiki page to appear in the search results :) Also, you made a really big step yesterday by noticing that the puzzle deals something with Germany. Including the country name in the request led to the solution even quicker. Of course, you have needed to name things in a right way, that's what I meant by "you have enough people to google the answer". Somebody should have eventually used the correct words :)

While pursuing the idea that we need to find the original source of the images which was inspired by TLDRGLUE's comment I found the source of the book image Here.
And the title of the picture is Books: a portal into another time and place.
P.S. Lol. I was a bit late :)
