Simple AJAX Request

I have a VERY basic form which takes a select element's option value and stores it in a variable. The variable is then used in another call to change data displayed on screen.

(So the option passes an "event" ID, and when changed, a list of events below will be updated.)

The form has to be "submitted" for this to run. All I need to do is submit the form via AJAX so the screen doesn't get refreshed and store the most recent option as "selected".

From my initial research, it seems using AJAX with WordPress is a bit complicated. Can someone point me in a direction for this seemingly simple example?
