I agree with Martin about not editing the database directly, but this query might help with his 1st step (finding the id of the event that you want to unsubscribe from):

SELECT 
ES.Id, 
U.display_name, 
ES.*
  FROM [Tfs_iSystems].[dbo].[tbl_EventSubscription] ES
 INNER JOIN [Tfs_Configuration].dbo.tbl_security_identity_cache U
 ON ES.SubscriberId = U.tf_id

I found using the XML produced by the webservice cumbersome to work with. Once you have the Id you need I'd recommend unsubscribing by using the webservice:

http://localhost:8080/tfs/DefaultCollection/Services/V1.0/EventService.asmx?op=UnsubscribeEvent
