  I'll give it a try, even if not for this event, thanks so much.
  
  Ideally we would want a way for people checking guests in to easily see what other events they are registered for.

  So here is the scenario
  
  * Three events happening at same time
  * Had to setup 3 different registration pages because only certain people were invited to certain things.
  * When we check people in, we want to make sure we have them checked in for all events they are registered for.
  * we are using QR code check in but are open to other options.
  * We also want to be able to identify VIPs when checking them in
  
  Here are a couple ideas I had
  
  * Create a price set with all the RSVP options and move all the RSVP's to a new event and make sure all the right price set options are chosen. This way when we use QR code check in, it will show all the correct options to the person checking them in. We would be managing RSVP's in two places, but it would streamline check in.
  * Create a new event for another scenario. Everyone is attending event B, but some people are attending event A,B,&C
  * Create VIP as a participant role.

  To register participants for a series of events, we use the [Event Additional Signup Extension](https://aghstrategies.com/event-additional-signup-extension/), which can be found in the extensions manager of CiviCRM.
  
  I think it covers your basic requirements: Just set up price sets and link the appropriate option to the additional event(s) signup.
