Advice on multi items with one cart button

I'm looking for some advice here - I use CMSMS for several sites but this is 1st time attempting to create an ecommerce solution:

I'm trying to set up an event registration page where attendees will purchase tickets for different events. Currently using calguys Cart2/Products/Orders/Ecommerce combo to build. Not even sure if this is the correct module set to be using.

So far what I have been able to build by adjusting templates is a page with each purchase item with an "add to cart" button on each line. When user presses an "add to cart" button the entire page refreshes and all entries they have currently entered are reset to "0". (see left side of attached picture). Not really what I want.

What I would like to have is a page where they can specify all the tickets they would like and press a single "add to cart" button located at the bottom of the form. (see right side of attached picture).

Ideally I would also like a record of their selections recorded in a database (FEU?) that the organizers could then use for generating reports.

Any ideas? Am I even using the right modules? Is what I want to achieve even possible or should I be looking at building something from scratch?

Thanks in advance

This can't be done with the Cart(2) module at the moment. Sorry.

Crud. There's a bunch of time down the drain. Thanks anyway Calguy.
Anyone know or use any module that might do the trick?
