Binding to static list of static class

I have static class with current transaction information like this:

public static class BKM 
{
   public static List<Ticket> Tickets {get;set;}
}

What I want to bind to Tickets.Count property in XAML.

When I type something like this 

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Source={x:Static p:BKM.Tickets.Count}}" />

where p is 

xmlns:p="clr-namespace:TicketApplication"

I get errors

Error 22 Nested types are not supported: BKM.Tickets.
Error 21 Cannot find the type 'BKM.Tickets'. Note that type names are case sensitive.
Error 23 Cannot find the member "Count" on the target type.

I suspect one problem is that you want the source to be BKM.Tickets, but you want the path to be Count. So try this:

<TextBlock Text="{Binding Source={x:Static p:BKM.Tickets} Path=Count}" />

And as Sriram says, you should make Tickets a property as well, e.g.

public static List<Ticket> Tickets { get; set; }

You should also consider moving away from global state, which is hard to test and reason about.
