Transaction in a stored procedure

I need to perform an UPDATE and an INSERT in a single transaction. That code works fine on its own, but I’d like to be able to call it easily and pass in the required parameters. When I try to nest this transaction in a stored procedure I run into lots of syntax errors.

How can I encapsulate the following code so it can be easily called?

BEGIN TRANSACTION AssignUserToTicket
GO

DECLARE @updateAuthor varchar(100)
DECLARE @assignedUser varchar(100)
DECLARE @ticketID bigint

SET @updateAuthor = 'user1'
SET @assignedUser = 'user2'
SET @ticketID = 123456

    UPDATE tblTicket SET ticketAssignedUserSamAccountName = @assignedUser WHERE (ticketID = @ticketID);
    INSERT INTO [dbo].[tblTicketUpdate]
           ([ticketID]
           ,[updateDetail]
           ,[updateDateTime]
           ,[userSamAccountName]
           ,[activity])
     VALUES
           (@ticketID,
           'Assigned ticket to ' + @assignedUser,
           GetDate(),
           @updateAuthor,
           'Assign');
GO
COMMIT TRANSACTION AssignUserToTicket
