I believe the answer is:

opt out

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

'decide not to be involved' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'work with dodgy ticket seller' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'work' could be 'op' (abbreviation for opus) and 'op' is present in the answer.
'seller' could be 'tout' (tout is a kind of seller) and 'tout' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
