OK, let me clarify a little!
I USED to make my own reports out of the HTML on the wpevent_menu by laboriously turning the table into a CSV file. That’s because the ticket names and amounts aren’t propagated to the PayPal records. OTOH, the PayPal Records have the essential Names and Contact info that I need to have a list for people coming in so they don’t need their phones or to print out a ticket at all (both are keyed by the email address).
Although the plugin is really great in terms of integration with PayPal and WordPress, the info to make entry lists that it collects is needlessly obscure. The idea of scanning in a printed or virtual bar code to check in sounds very convenient, but it’s nothing compared to a pencil and paper list, especially in a place with flaky internet connectivity, and cases where people are trading tickets or have flaky devices and printers themselves. The paper list is also way better for auditing purposes.
