No, attendees either need to purchase a ticket level (not an add-on) or be a guest of someone who did purchase tickets. You can sell tickets using the mobile app or you can manually enter a new attendee using the event page URL.

If they are a guest of someone who did purchase tickets, you just need to update the attendee information using the edit icon on the Event Attendance grid. See this article for an example: [What if the ticket purchaser doesn’t know the names of all their guests when they buy the tickets?](./what-if-the-ticket-purchaser-doesnt-know-the-names-of-all-their-guests-when-they-buy-the-tickets-dv)
