Enthusiasts accepting ticket price for trumpets (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fanfares

'trumpets' is the definition.
(a fanfare might be played on trumpets)

'enthusiasts accepting ticket price' is the wordplay.
'enthusiasts' becomes 'fans' (fan is a kind of enthusiast).
'accepting' means one lot of letters goes inside another (inserted letters are accepted).
'ticket price' becomes 'fare' (eg a bus fare).
'fans' enclosing 'fare' is 'FANFARES'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for fanfares that I've seen before include "ceremonial blasts of trumpets" , "Ceremonious soundings of trumpets" , "Flourishes of trumpets" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
