Artist controlled ticket for use in future (9)

I believe the answer is:

raincheck

'ticket for use in future' is the definition.
(ticket for an event that has been rescheduled)

'artist controlled' is the wordplay.
'artist' becomes 'RA' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts).
'controlled' becomes 'in check' (to keep in check is to control).
'ra'+'incheck'='RAINCHECK'

(Another definition for raincheck that I've seen is " future date?".)
