Tackiest ones surprisingly good for access during a specific period, at a reduced rate (6,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

season ticket

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'access during a specific period at a reduced rate' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'tackiest ones surprisingly' is the wordplay.
'surprisingly' is an anagram indicator (a surprising ordering of the letters).
'tackiest'+'ones'='tackiestones'
'tackiestones' with letters rearranged gives 'SEASON-TICKET'.

'good for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for season ticket that I've seen before include "At length, pass" , "Football pass, for example" , "Period travel permit" , "Entitlement to regular travel" , "Long term permit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
