I would just refer to them as "registrations".

"There are no registrations for this event" should cover it.

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

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

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

When you click on the Calendar item, it should display people who registered for this event (I'm not really working with this page right now, but I assume this is the functionality). So, if no one is registered, we need some message to display. The events I think, can be future and past events (but if no one came I guess the event was cancelled).

Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy

Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.

-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
