Because of poor ticket sales, the Paul Colman Trio show scheduled for Thursday at the Convocation Center has been canceled.

Kevin Selover, marketing manager for the Convocation Center, said ticket sales for the event were struggling.

“The promoter of the show thought it was in his and our best interests to pull the show,” he said.

Selover said he could not disclose the number of tickets sold.

The decision to cancel the show was made Tuesday, he said, but was made official on Wednesday.

“The show is not going to be rescheduled,” Selover said. “If we felt that the show would be successful, we would’ve pushed ahead with it.”

The Paul Colman Trio was supposed to perform at the arena with guests The Elms and Sarah Kelly.

According to the Paul Colman Trio’s Web site, the band received a Grammy nomination for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album in 2003 for its album “New Map of the World.” The group also won the 2003 Dove Award for New Artist of the Year.

Selover said everyone who bought a ticket for the show can get a full refund at the original point of purchase.

Night Light Promotions was the promoter of the event.
