26th January Republic Day of India 2012 Parade and Beating Retreat Ceremony ticket
Love to watch the 26th January Republic Day Parade and Beating Retreat Ceremony?

I have purchased Beating Retreat Tickets which mentions 28th January, 2012 but technically speaking it should be 29th January,2012. On 28th should be the Full Dress Rehearsal (FDR) of Beating Retreat but i want to get it clarified as the Officer on Special Duty (Sale of Tickets & Printing) is not picking up calls. I have tired getting in touch with him but nobody is receiving phone. Can someone suggest about this. I would also like to point of that if tickets are of FDR then the official should print it that way. There should be someone who should address to such confusion.
