Sale of Republic Day Parade (26 Jan 2026), Full Dress Rehearsal of Beating Retreat (28 Jan) and Beating Retreat (29 Jan) tickets began on 5 January 2026 via the official Aamantran portal and mobile app, with offline counters open at six Delhi locations. On the first day, nearly 3,000 tickets — the daily online quota of 2,225 for the parade and 692 for rehearsal/Beating Retreat — were sold out within hours, with prices ranging from Rs 20 to Rs 100. The Defence Ministry’s move to limit daily quotas and promote early booking reflects strong public enthusiasm for India’s 77th Republic Day festivities, fostering civic engagement and showcasing military heritage. Valid photo ID is mandatory for purchase and entry, while high demand signals robust national pride as security forces tighten arrangements ahead of the major national celebration.
