FM is primarily a band and Stevie and Lindsey get paid as equally as John and Mick. Taint so with TP's Heartbreakers, they're (like the E Street Band) just backing musicians. I gladly pay extra for FM to see the interplay between equal stars (well maybe not in John's case).

People pay to see Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, the Heartbreakers get a big chunk of the change. Yet, for some reason, even with the low, low ticket prices, Petty still walks away with millions.
And Mick and John don't get nearly as much as Stevie and Linds. I doubt they even make $75,000 each every show. I don't know the exact figures, but they get much less than the two "stars."
