Where the purchaser gets in a flutter? (7,4)

I believe the answer is:

betting shop

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

'a flutter?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'where the purchaser gets in' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is located in the answer.
'in' is within the answer.
an anagram of 'gets' is 'etgs' which is located in the remaining letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for betting shop that I've seen before include "One may gamble here" , "Bookmaker's premises not on a racecourse" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
