Not exactly: 'That is precisely the correct thing to do!'; 'That is precisely the correct solution!'

HUBLOT- "I know my illness has been a burden to you. I'll be better soon." "That's the ticket!"
A ticket gets you entrance to a show, or gets your clean laundry back, or gets your car back from the mechanic.
So the ticket in "That's the ticket!" is a symbol of getting exactly what you need. It is very encouraging - you found the solution, the way to succe

To me, That's the ticket is starting to seem a little old-fashioned. I don't hear it much anymore.
