No, this error will probably be corrected in court.
This is not grounds for the voiding of a ticket in most situations.
Nevertheless, good luck!

That particular ticket may be voided but you will probably not be able to avoid the penalty. If you contest the ticket based on the date and time issue alone one of two things will probably happen, either the court itself will amend the date and time on that ticket or the issuing officer or a fellow officer will write you a new ticket with the correct date and time.
Some may make the argument that if the date and time are wrong then how can any of the ticket be considered credible. While there is a slight chance that you could fight the ticket based on that I think your likelihood of getting out of it is very slim. The judge recognizes that police are people to and make mistakes, and getting the wrong date is a very common mistake we all make. The officer can testify that he identified you at that particular place and violating that particular law and should be able to collaborate this with department records (such as dispatchers log, radio traffic recording etc) and will testify that he made a mistake on the date.

Minor errors such as a simple spelling error will not normally result in a dismissal. These can be fixed up in court simply because they don't change the essential elements of a charge. A major mistake as you described, however, will almost always result in the charge being dropped. An essential element of a charge is date, location, really different name, etc. I suggest you contact the prosecutor's office for an appointment and tell him/her the details. If that doesn't work simply plead 'not-guilty' and tell your story in court. Good luck!

This isn't the first time I've seen a question like this on here and probably won't be the last. No, your ticket won't be voided and yes, you will have to pay it.

Depends on the judge, but generally, NO.
