¡Hola!, Dan:
 
Here is the problem:
 
In English, you wrote "I will buy a ticket". What you asked about in Spanish is "Compro un boleto". Translated to English your Spanish sentence is "I am buying a ticket"> You wanted future tense OR near future but wrote in present tense.
 
To get the result you want, you need to say:
- in the future tense ------------> "Compraré un boleto", or
- near future construction ----> "Voy a comprar un boleto"
 
For more about the future tense including the near future (or "informal" future") see this reference page ----> Future Tense
 
Saludos/Cheers,
Moe
