Republic Day Parade: Tickets for Republic Day Parade to be available in two categories, know prices and last date

As every year, ticket sales for watching the Republic Day parade in Delhi have begun this year as well. The central government has arranged for two categories of tickets for the parade.

Just like every year, this year too, the Republic Day parade is being organised in all its grandeur in the national capital. The central government has arranged tickets in two categories for viewing this historic parade. The booking process has also commenced. This means any common citizen can purchase offline tickets between January 5 and January 14, from 10 AM to 1 PM and 2 PM to 5 PM. Additionally, an online booking system has also been put in place. Those interested in witnessing Delhi's historic parade can book their seats through either of these options.

Tickets Available in Two Categories

The central government has arranged tickets in two categories to witness the historic Republic Day parade in the national capital. The ticket price in the first category has been set at ₹100, while in the second category, the ticket price is ₹20. Furthermore, the ticket price for the full dress rehearsal of the Beating Retreat ceremony, scheduled for January 28, has also been fixed at ₹20. Individuals interested in watching the parade can book their seats at their convenience by visiting the Ministry of Defence's official website 'Aamantran' at aamantran.mod.gov.in for online ticket booking.

What's Special About the Parade on January 26?

For the main parade on January 26, Republic Day, the central government has also issued tickets in two categories. Under this, the price for the first category tickets is ₹100. People in this category will be able to book their seats in stands with a relatively better view of Rajpath (Kartavya Path), from where the parade, tableaux, and the President's salute can be clearly seen. The second category is for ₹20 tickets. This category is for the general spectator stands, offering a view of the parade from a limited distance. The most significant aspect here is that seating is entirely pre-determined for security reasons. Spectators are granted entry strictly according to the gate and block mentioned on their tickets.

How to Book Tickets Online?

If you also wish to witness the grand Republic Day parade taking place on Kartavya Path in the national capital, you will first need to obtain tickets either online or offline.
