For Your Friends In Low Places To Win Tickets To See Garth Brooks This Week Poll: How Voting Works & How to Win

What the KLAW Friends in Low Places poll is and who runs it

The For Your Friends In Low Places To Win Tickets To See Garth Brooks This Week Poll is a photo-vote promotion run by KLAW, a radio station licensed in Oklahoma, and hosted directly on klaw.com with no third-party balloting service in between. The ballot sits there under the title Vote for Your 'Friends in Low Places' to Win Tickets to See Garth Brooks This Week, and the station framed it as a response to its audience: "We asked and you delivered! Pictures of your 'Friends in Low Places' are now ready for your votes."

The shape is typical of radio-station audience engagement. The station asks listeners for submissions, in this case pictures matching the theme of the Garth Brooks song Friends in Low Places, posts them on a single ballot page, and lets the audience decide a winner by public vote. The vertical here is a promotional giveaway rather than a ranked best-of directory, though it sits in the same family of public-vote programs this site covers.

The prize gives the ballot its urgency. Whichever picture leads at Midnight on Thursday, July 13, when the poll ends, wins tickets to The Garth Brooks World Tour with Trisha Yearwood, Saturday at 7:30pm in the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City. A named arena, a named tour and a named showtime make this a concrete, dated prize rather than a vague reward.

The dated record: which editions ran and when this window closes

Across 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025 and 2026, KLAW has run this photo vote, and those five consecutive years establish it as a recurring summer promotion on the station's schedule rather than a single stunt. They also make a further round in 2027 a reasonable expectation even though the station has not yet announced it.

Within the live cycle, the hard dated fact is the close: the poll ends at Midnight on Thursday, July 13, and the photo leading at that moment takes the tickets. The timing evidence places the voting window in July, with the start month also recorded as July, but the exact day voting opened is not printed anywhere on the page. That missing opening date matters for anyone planning a last-day push, because the length of the window cannot be calculated from the published facts alone; confirm on the live ballot each cycle.

Other details a careful supporter might want are likewise absent from the page KLAW published. The station does not print a category roster beyond the single Friends in Low Places photo theme, and it does not state eligibility requirements for who may submit or vote. The prize details, by contrast, are fully specified: The Garth Brooks World Tour with Trisha Yearwood, Saturday at 7:30pm, Chesapeake Energy Arena, Oklahoma City. The contrast is worth noting, because an organizer that prints a venue and a showtime but not its voting rules is asking supporters to trust the form itself rather than a written rulebook.

How a supporter votes on the KLAW photo ballot today

The mechanic is deliberately simple. KLAW asked its audience for pictures of their friends in low places, collected the submissions, and posted them on a single ballot page at klaw.com. A supporter opens that page, browses the photo entries, and votes for a favorite. There is no bracket, no nomination round and no multi-stage structure described on the page; the whole contest resolves in a single public vote ending at Midnight on Thursday, July 13.

Because the host is the station's own website, the supporter deals only with KLAW's own form. The page text does not describe whether voting requires an email address, a login or nothing at all, and it does not state how often a person may return to vote. Those are exactly the details a supporter should read off the live form before committing to a voting routine, since a radio station can adjust its own ballot between cycles without notice.

What the page does make unmistakable is the deadline and the reward. Votes cast after Midnight on Thursday, July 13 cannot affect the outcome, and the photo ahead at that moment wins tickets to The Garth Brooks World Tour with Trisha Yearwood, Saturday at 7:30pm in the Chesapeake Energy Arena in Oklahoma City. A supporter who wants a particular picture to win should therefore treat the July 13 cutoff as the only date that matters and plan any sharing or reminding around it.

How this ballot sits beside Oklahoma's other public-vote programs

Oklahoma supports a busy field of public-vote programs, and this KLAW poll stands apart from all of them. Its siblings on this site are all best-of readers' choice ballots: 405 Magazine Best of 405, Best of OKC, Best of OKC (Oklahoma Gazette), Best of the 405, Norman Transcript Readers' Choice and Best of Claremore. Those programs ask audiences to rank businesses and services across many categories over long voting seasons. The KLAW poll instead runs a single-theme photo vote with a single prize and a single close date.

The difference shows in the stakes and the rhythm. A readers' choice ballot rewards a business with year-long bragging rights across its market; the KLAW poll rewards a listener with concert tickets within a matter of days, since the window sits in July and closes at Midnight on Thursday, July 13. The audience is also different: readers' choice ballots court the whole metro business community, while this poll courts the station's own listeners, the people who sent in the pictures in the first place.

What this means in practice for anyone voting is that tactics transfer only partly between the two kinds of ballot. Advice built for a months-long category contest does not map cleanly onto a short photo vote with one prize. If you are comparing Oklahoma ballots to decide where your effort goes, read this poll's page for its deadline and prize, and read the Best of OKC page for the category-driven model that dominates the state's public-vote scene.

Strengthening support for a photo before July 13

Because this ballot is a short, single-prize photo vote, effective support looks like concentrated personal outreach rather than a long campaign. The pictures on the KLAW ballot came from the station's own listeners, so the natural base of support is each entrant's own circle: friends, family and coworkers who will recognize the person in the photo. Share the klaw.com ballot link directly, name the picture you want backed, and state the deadline, Midnight on Thursday, July 13, in every ask so nobody assumes there is more time than there is.

KLAW's published page states the prize and the close but prints no rules about outside help, vote limits or eligibility, so nothing on the page tells a supporter what the station permits beyond plain voting. That silence is a reason to keep any push personal and transparent rather than a license to push hard. General methods for widening a vote base, from timing reminders to rallying a community, are set out in our guide to getting more votes online, and most of them work as well for a radio photo poll as for any other public ballot.
