Dylan's per-booking minimum was less than 1/2 of Pearl Jam's in 2002. His crew was nearly equivalent in size, his draw was much smaller, and money was still being tossed around like it meant absolutely nothing.
By contrast, late 90's Kiss was fairly close to Pearl Jam-level crowds, and their guarantee was a little larger, but their expenses were also much bigger (they had a massive road show with tons and tons of crew members). I read an interview where Ace Frehley was complaining about being paid like a hired hand on that tour, but the promoter contract I saw guaranteed at least $10,000 to each band member independent of other expenses and ON TOP of the booking guarantee, which is usually calculated as a double digit percentage beyond basic costs guaranteed to make see the band earns money...and on rough tours can mean the band gets very well paid while promoters go broke.
So in theory, that $10k was just "hired hand" money to him.
*edited to correct the number my faulty memory tossed out
Just going by the eye-test shows, Pearl Jam sells more merch than most bands. The majority of people I see are buying multiple items. I'm sure PJ cleans up in this respect.

Springsteen just broke the billboard record for his two shows here in Dublin. Almost $20 million for two nights for 160,000 people. Great shows they were too.
