This is the current code of the current single-event.php file for reference. As you can see, it’s changed a bit so I don’t know how to modify it now as to get the result desired mentioned above…

<?php
/**
 * Single Event Template
 * A single event. This displays the event title, description, meta, and
 * optionally, the Google map for the event.
 *
 * Override this template in your own theme by creating a file at [your-theme]/tribe-events/single-event.php
 *
 * @package TribeEventsCalendar
 * @version  4.3

I don’t mean to hijack — I just wanted to know what the solution was as my situation is exactly the same…

Was there a resolution? I’m also suffering exactly the same problem (contact form 7 works fine).
