Is she waiting for me to pay her way or is she just waiting until it's full so she has an excuse not to go? The reason why I think she is sincere is because she brought up carpooling and even invited me to a similar event later this year.

I'm afraid that if I offered to pay her way it would be awkward and it would push her away.
If you're gonna ask someone out, do it properly. Not with some "event." And don't do the "friends first route."

She's not going because she does not want to because of "x" or "x" reason. If you consider it as a rejection, then yes it's a rejection.

Ask her if she wants you to go ahead and get the ticket for her since it's about to sell out.

Is it an overnight event? Maybe she's trying to find someone to watch her cat.

Or, maybe another friend has already invited her to another event that same day and she has decided which she wants to commit to.

Or, maybe she hasn't felt like spending the money yet.

Or, maybe she's just pacifying you with no intention of going because she's really not interested in the event.

Or, maybe she's out of checks and doesn't carry cash on her.

Or, maybe she just hasn't gotten around to it yet.
