Copper, say, one giving out tickets (9)
I believe the answer is:
conductor
'copper say' is the definition.
(copper is a kind of conductor)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for conductor that I've seen before include "Copper is a good one" , "Orchestral director" , "Director - band leader" , "Director of an orchestra" , "leader of the orchestra" .)
