try Events > Settings > Pages > Event Pages > Enable Comments and then if you have an existing events you can edit those events then disable comments there.
Angelo,
Thanks for getting back so quickly. I followed your instructions exactly, but the events do not seem to care whether that option in Events>Settings is checked or not.
That option does appear to enable/disable the discussion box when editing the event, BUT it makes no difference whether “Allow Comments” in said box is checked or unchecked.
I seem to always be left with a comment count and “Leave a Comment” message that doesn’t even function. You can see the new event I created after following your instructions here: http://big3keywest.com/events/definitely-no-comments-excursion
It must be something else. D:
If you make the settings change Angelo mentioned then create a new event, do you see a comment form on the new event?
By “new account” do you mean I should create a new wordpress admin?
If so, I tried this after your suggestion, and I am still experiencing the same difficulties.
Here is the result created by the new admin with Event Pages > Enable Comments tried with both yes and no options.

Would it help to change “Pages>Display Events As” to “Pages” instead of “Posts”? Would that have something to do with it?
That’s what it was! See here: http://big3keywest.com/events/new-event-as-page
I changed “Events>Pages>Event Pages>Display Events As” from “Posts” to “Pages” and now there is no pesky non-functioning comment option.
Finally, after hours of trying, it’s fixed! Thanks so much for your help Angelo and Calmin for leading me in the right direction!
