Is there a way for me to add in my own shortcodes to the the messages? I have a purchase code that is not related to the registration code.

Hi there,
Yes it is possible to add your own shortcodes to the messages system, I have previously posted details of doing so here:
https://eventespresso.com/topic/venue-against-each-date/#post-177488
Or you can view the code here:

I’ve added the two snippets of code to my functions file and they still don’t work. Where do I need to put this code? Currently I had it in the child theme functions file. I moved it to the parent, and then my site loaded a blank page when using the example code. What am I doing wrong?

Ok I got it to show up (missing semicolon on my end). Since it’s showing up in the DateTime list, what is the name for the Attendees List section? I thought it would be EE_Attendee_Shortcodes, but it wasn’t.

Can you also run do_shortcode() within your shortcodes to trigger one of your shortcodes?

I got the shortcode to register correct, but nothing is being returned. It’s only showing the bracket shortcode. [DRIVERSED_SHORTCODE]

Can you either create a Gist or post your code to something like http://pastebin.com/ and post the URL here so I can view the code please?
If its returning the string it sounds like there is no parser for the shortcode.

I got it to parse correctly if I just kept it to the EE_Datetime_Shortcodes instance, but as soon as I changed those to EE_Event_List_Shortcodes, it wasn’t parsing correctly. Any suggestions?

Your parse function is different from your hook:
register_new_tony_shortcodes_parser and register_new_driversed_shortcodes_parser
The reason the shortcode won’t work with that setup is $data will never be an instance of EE_Event_List (there is no EE_Event_List class) remove the instanceof check:
&& $data instanceof EE_Event_List
And fix the hook function name, then that shortcode will parse within the event list shortcodes.
Can you also run do_shortcode() within your shortcodes to trigger one of your shortcodes?
No you can’t, do_shortcode() runs on standard shortcodes and EE message shortcodes are not apart of the WP Shortcodes.
Any EE data you need can but pulled in using the $data variable, it will be different depending on the shortcode your are parsing but for EE_Eent_list_shortcodes data will be passed a EE_Messages_Addressee object.
You’ll need to go through and find the data available from the EE_Messages_Addressee class and call whatever it is you need from there.
You can use Kint and use d($data); within your shortcode, then preview the message to see the output. You’ll find multiple different objects available from within $data.
For example on your shortcode you can use:
$primary_reg = $data instanceof EE_Messages_Addressee ? $data->primary_reg_obj : NULL;
if ($primary_reg instanceof EE_Registration) {
$primary_attendee = $primary_reg->attendee();
$first_name = $attendee->fname();
}
To display the first name of the primary registrant.
Can I ask why you are using the event list shortcodes? Where do you want the output to be and what details do you want to use?
