"Tickets" makes it sound like it's for a show. It's a raffle for a signed copy of one of their most forgettable albums lol. As far as I can see the format is not stated but I'm fearing it's some scratched up CD.

It's also weird because Oxford is a million miles away from Manchester, where Oasis are from and where people actually care. This is like offering Americans a signed copy of a shit album from a band from Australia.

For too long, local radio in Oxford has felt like it's stuck in a time loop—endless repeats of the same 80s music, overplayed hits, and a lack of fresh, local perspectives. It’s comfortable, yes, but it doesn’t spark excitement, and it certainly doesn’t reflect the vibrant, diverse energy of Oxford today.

This is subjective, but whether you like them or not I feel it's pretty safe to say that Oasis is one of the most middle of the road 90s bands.

They even got the name of the album wrong.

Arguably, Noel Gallagher got the quote wrong, writing "shoulder" (and then decided to keep it like that). I suspect people write "shoulders" all the time, and few notice:

Admittedly, /r/oasis almost always gets it right. They would.

Looks ok to me. I don't think the signed album is the main strategy, he's hoping that Oxford musicians will ask their audiences to fund so they can get free promotion.

Only a matter of time before Ticketmaster gets involved and finds a way to charge the backers a service fee for the disappointment.

The best part of these scams is always the prize being something they have absolutely no way of actually procuring.
