Planning to take my kids this year. It's important for the younger generation to witness this display of national pride and military discipline firsthand. Hope the website doesn't crash like last time!

While I appreciate the effort, the ticket sale window is too short and the booth timings are restrictive for working professionals. Why can't they keep online sales open longer? Many of us can't take leave just to buy tickets.

The parade is a magnificent showcase of our diversity and strength. Seeing the tableaux from different states always fills me with pride. Booking online from the Aamantran portal was smooth last year, hopefully it's the same.

Good to see counters at Rajiv Chowk and Kashmere Gate metro stations. Makes it accessible for people coming from NCR regions. The Beating Retreat ceremony is a must-watch, the music is simply soul-stirring!

Attended the parade for the first time last year. The precision and coordination were world-class. It's a powerful symbol of a modern, confident India. Will definitely try to get tickets again.
