Roy,

Here's the reply from Todd:

--------------------------------------

your clients are the requestor of the ticket? if so just give the 
Requestor role ShowTicket. if every employee of a particular client 
needs to see each ticket you may have to create a scrip to add the 
client's group as Cc and give ShowTicket to the Cc role.

-------------------------------------- 

Very similar to your solution.
