Depends on venue.

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.

Yea CR I actually deleted my post entry as there so many variables involved. I saw Van Morrison on AXS network, Van Morrison was playing in SF per 2018?. It was primarily jazz and top 40 hits were not played. Who is that accompanying female jazz vocalist - she is really good

I'm not sure what her name is but she was fantastic. The show I saw was a nice mix of old & new. much like Dylan, van does change up the old material with new arrangements. the band was great. really glad i got to go see him. who knows if i'll have another chance?

The Canadian Show is cashless, cards only. Maybe check your show to make sure they take cash

Not much. The stuff they sell at concerts is not that great, and quite expensive. Get a beer. If there's a decent poster for that particular gig, maybe.

This is interesting. Here in Sweden they are talking about a totally cashless society in three years. There is soon very little left to pay with cash. You can't even park your car without a phone app these days.
Older people are complaining but banks (and politicians) don't give a damn about them. If the Stones were to play here you would have to bring your card or cell phone (swish).
Otherwise you could forget your beer, t-shirt or hot dog...

$1000 concert....wtf......

Lots,hot dogs, beer, t-shirts,
caps are not cheap but better than UK. I will skip the beer, its insanely expensive, will go to pub instead.

One Million Dollars

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.

Recently its been very cheap to see the Stones, you can see the them on just about any budget if they are playing in a place near you.
Put it this way, I've paid more to see other acts last year.
Expect to pay between £50 to £300 for half decent tickets, it's the venues that rip you off though, food and drink sort of thing.

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 love me my bootleg shirts!

How much have you got? Bring cash and lots of it.

Think of how much you will need...then double it and bring that along! You never know when you will see a Jacket you "must" have :-)

(At La Plata shows on the Ole Tour - we kept our cash in our shoes - it was the safest option)

Bring everything you got, the Stones will happily take it, no questions asked!

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

Hahaha!! There's so much truth in this remark.

Ditto. The last time I bought any merch was 2003. And I refuse to buy any of the grotesquely overpriced food and drink too. Can't remember the last time. The gig's enough for me.

$35 per show. $15 for a bootleg shirt outside, $20 for beers inside!

If your're not going to eat or drink don't bring any. If you are buying T Shirts food...$120

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 .

Indeed. I do the same at the football, where the catering is usually lamentable. Some of what’s on offer could be put back on its feet by a decent vet!

Bring everything in the world that you can imagine

What bus...USA Greyhound?

no need to buy merch at the show – just wait for special offers on RS.com…

Leave your credit cards behind. Don't bring them to the show. Just bring $20 or so, to pay for a beer, and taxi or bus back home.
