Does the ticking noise come after the battery is drained low?Also does this ticking noise come from under the center console?Have you had the battery and alternator tested yet?Also have you mad sure the battery cable's are clean and tight?

I have the same problem! The ticking is coming from under the center console. I have automatic locks and if I push the lock button to the side and hold it the ticking will stop. Now my car will not start!
