I've read this entire thread and I have to admit, I'm not sure what you are actually trying to say?

"There are no attendance's for this Event."

I doubt you are trying to say that no one will be there?

Are you trying to say no one has said they will be there yet?

or Are you trying to say there will be no roll call or record of attendance?
