Hello Megan!
Once you have Community Events and Community Tickets, you will also be able to access all of the events you have added to the calendar from the front end, including the reports and ability to check in an attendee.
All of your events will be located at: [your-site]/events/community/list
Click the “Attendees” link for any of your events with tickets and that will display all the registered attendees and the ability to check them in without having to be in the WordPress admin.
Does this help answer your question? Please let me know. 🙂
Cheers!
Geoff
