jquery validation addmethod not defined

Question

Im trying to add a custom validation method to jquery validation plugin. When I try to attach the rule to an element I receive an error "uniqueTicket" not defined.

Here is my add method:

jQuery.validator.addMethod("uniqueTicket", function (value, element, param) {

    var data = {
        ticket: value,
        reservation_id: $("#reservation_id").val()
    };

    if (value.length > 3) {
        $.ajax({
            type: "POST",
            url: '/ticketaudits/validateTicket',
            data: data,
            dataType: "json",
            success: function (msg) {
                //If username exists, set response to true
                response = (msg == 'true') ? true : false;
            }
        });
    } else {
        response = false;
    }
    return response;
},
    "Ticket is invalid or already used");

This is being called within the same document ready function as the validation. My validation is:

$('#myForm').validate({
    debug: false,
    ignoreTitle: true,
    onkeyup: false,
    rules: {
        ticket: uniqueTicket
    }
});

I've followed a number of examples for this but don't understand the problem. Does this mean there's an error in my addmethod?

Also show the relevant rendered HTML markup.

Assuming that your input contains name="ticket",

this:

rules: {
    ticket: uniqueTicket
}

should be this:

rules: {
    ticket: {
        uniqueTicket: true
    }
}
