Explanation / Answer

First Lets make a table:

Now by Clues 1 and 5, we get that jackson, innis, ernie reporter and jazz person our all different as jackson ,innis and jazz person have kids and others dont, so the table becomes

Now by clues 3,6,7,9 we can get that the Engineer,still ticketless, does not like Arts or Ballets and guys attending comedy and symphony have already got tickets, so engineer must Jazz

By clue 3 and 9, Filmore can't be an engineer and reporter already has tickets so Ernie is Filmore

By clue 3 and 9, Filmore can't be an engineer and reporter already has tickets so Ernie is Filmore and by clue 4 we get that Harfield can't be jazz

Now since Alan can't be reporter (he has kids) or engineer(he is not jazz person), Doreencan't be reporter(Different persons) or Engineer(Doreen has tickets), and Chris isn't engineer, the table becomes

Combining the remaining clues we get

Note: In clue 8 the second guy who went with doctor is missing from the question, hence it is not possible to get the exact last name of Dooren and Alan
