Jon Bon Jovi, whose Philadelphia Soul team won the Arena Football League’s championship game but folded with the rest of the league, will give a free, special-ticketed performance for former Philadelphia Soul season ticket holders and fans, he announced on Friday.

The concert will be at 5 p.m. Wednesday at Philadelphia’s Wachovia Center.

In addition to season ticket holders – who have been alerted through direct e-mail, fans can enter to win tickets through Philly radio station 93.3 WMMR-FM online at www.wmmr.com and through on-air call outs on WMMR leading up to the show.

The announcement honors a commitment made by Jon Bon Jovi on WMMR’s “Preston and Steve show” when he predicted a championship win for his Arena Football team and promised a free performance if his prediction proved true.

The Philadelphia Soul claimed victory at the July 2008 ArenaBowl, but the Arena Football League had simultaneously begun its own fight for survival that spanned two years and resulted in the suspension of League operations.

If you can’t get tickets to the free show, you can tune in live via a commercial-free radio broadcast at 93.3FM in Philadelphia or stream it live via www.wmmr.com.
