What happens to my traffic ticket that has my old
license plate number on it? Is it valid? The plate was changed when the title was transferred to me.

"Traffic ticket' usually means a 'moving violation' ( speeding, failure to yield, etc) and is issued to the driver, not the car, doesn't matter what the license plate is, the ticket is valid. There are situations where the plate number may not belong to the car or driver for , shall we say, 'less innocent' reasons than your's. A non-moving violation ( a parking ticket for example) usually goes to the registered owner of the car, the plate number is used to determine the owner. If the car was not yet registered to you when the ticket was issued, you mite get out of it. The registered owner at the time mite get out of it too, if he can show a bill of sale or other proof that the car was sold B4 date of ticket even if title was not officially transfered. Which could throw the thing back to you. Doesn't appear to be an 'inaccurate ticket', if the plate number was on the car when you were driving it and got the ticket.

The license plate makes no difference. The license plate did not violate the law. The driver apparently did.
