I'm betting it's the battery, but give that starter a tap with something if you can and try it again. If the battery is charged and it still goes tick then I think it's the starter motor.

Re: car just goes TICK (FOAD)
grounds are all tight, would the car be able to be pop started if the starter went?

the battery is dead
the accessories only draw very little current and voltage. the starter draws 10x everything else. take your battery to autozone have them test it

it's either the starter or the battery. Take it to kragen, pep boys, or some other place like that and have them test the battery. They can tell you if it's dead or not. Otherwise it's probably the starter going bad.
