I'm taking $100 cash. I want to purchase two beers, a Stones t-shirt (make that two I'm married), and baseball type cap. I think there are ATMs or acceptance of debit cards at Miami venue if 100 bucks are not enough. I'm keeping parking as separate charges.

Chris, double that. think at least $40 for the shirt/hat, maybe more for the shirt depending on style. beer, $10-15. the tshirt vendor will take debit for sure, depending what kind of stand you go to so will the beer. the last stones show i saw in 2012, i ordered my shirts online. the lines usually are huge & brutal. took a real long time to get my order though.

Buy your t-shirts OUTSIDE the venue. They are about $20 and AWESOME! I usually load up AFTER the shows and they are different designs but I've been pleased with the selections. Funny thing, these guys are chased away by the police so they tend to be skittish!!
As for how much to bring in....I'm not a beer drinker but if you are, maybe about $150-200, to be safe....that includes parking, beer, shirts and food.

I make a point of not taking any money.
they've had enough out of me for the ticket... without tempting me to buy a load of overpriced nonsense whilst I'm there

I eat a meal elsewhere before the show and take a bottle of water which I drink or discard immediately before security. I always take in a couple of packets of mints to maintain sugar levels. If I'm queueing all day, I take sandwiches, prepared salads and eat while I wait. I don't touch In Venue catering - usually poor quality and a complete rip off .

Good advice all round ...and applies of course to any event or show...
..it's not just the Stones and their financial partners who want to bleed us all dry .

buy your t-shirt/swag online when they go on sale, and you don't need to worry about dragging it around with you.
we've paid for the lucky dips, booked our totally affordable bus from Vancouver to Seattle ($50 all in, Canadian, are you kidding me?) and hotel.
Come 'game day'...just food'n'booze.
