JQuery ajax call does not accept alphanumeric parameters!

Question

JQuery seems to give an error when trying to pass an alphanumeric parameter as follows:

            $.ajax({
                type: "POST",
                url: "Default.aspx/AjaxTest",
                data: "{eventID:9a5}",
                contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
                dataType: "json",
                success: function(msg) {
                    alert(msg.d);
                },
                error: function(e) {
                    alert("Event could not be added to calendar");
                }
            });

when the above method is called, the error callback is called. However, when I change the eventID parameter to a purely numeric value, it works fine and the success callback is called. I would like to pass the alphanumeric value to the server method, and this does not seem to work. Any help would be appreciated.
