Some Mancunian ticketed for prank (5)
I believe the answer is:
antic
'prank' is the definition.
('antic' can be a synonym of 'prank')
'some mancunian ticketed for' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'ANTIC' is hidden within 'mancunian ticketed for'.
(Other definitions for antic that I've seen before include "Playful or mischievous act" , "Mad act done for fun" , "Caper, trick" , "Absurd act" , "Playful caper" .)
