Short answer: Maybe. Longer answer: This depends entirely on your locale and what kind of ticket it is. Parking tickets are commonly issued by what used to be called "meter maids." They are not police officers with powers of arrest. In some jurisdictions people can be deputized for a period of time or for a specific area like a college campus. While these individuals may not have full police authority (arrest, firearm, etc.) they may be able to cite someone for violations (speeding, disorderly conduct) and they may also have the authority to detain an individual pending a "real" police officer's arrival.
