Creating an event registration form

I am trying to create an Event site. There will be an event content type. People will have to register to the event. So each event needs to have a registration form. The form will have basic fields like Name, email, etc but also have some specific fields(select, or checkbox) which may be specific to events. I would also want to display the list of people who have registered to the event using views. I was wondering what would be the best approach to handle this.

I can't use nodereference field for the signup form because the fields can vary according to events, so I will have to create a separate content type for each event. I was also thinking about webforms but I would have to create the entire form for each event everytime. Are there any other ways of doing it or do I need to do custom code. Also if I do custom code what would be the best appraoch(entities?).

Any suggestions would be really appreciated.
