Looks to me like there are two kinds of on-stage package.... - the onstage ‘Opera ‘ experience (everything the same but no photo mentioned ) and the On stage Photo Opp experience. If so...wonder how much extra the photo opp will be! (Not going - just fantasy browsing )
It's basically 1.5K vs 2.5K.
Yikes!

You've seen it....can't unsee it... Plus you get a nice folding chair that you can check on the plane back...lol. I've never really wanted to sit on the stage to view the show itself.....but getting a pic with all 3 guys would push me over the line I believe.
Haha, I was just laughing at the thought of randomly checking a chair with my luggage on the way back home. I was ready to do this at the regular stage price but that extra 1K sadly makes a difference. Oh well...
The onstage in OZ is about $1,100 US. $1561AUS = $1,100. I see it's more for Canada...$1,482. I'd have to go look up onstage price for the US upcoming leg....but I'd pay $1,100 for the OZ extras, esp the pic. And yes, you can check the chair...we did that with our queuing folding chairs coming back from TOH OZ....lol. If it folds up small enough, you might could treat it as a carry on. ETA: I didn't see that extra $1,000 YIKES is right. Not sure I'd pay $2,500. Hope Adam gets a good percentage of those VIP upgrades.

See conversation above. Sadly seems there won’t be a photo op at that price!

The Canada figure is listed in Canadian dollars which is basically equal to AUD right now so the prices are very comparable. The difference basically amounts to the exchange rate difference (CAD value a little higher).
The only two packages in Sydney that include a photos are roughly 2.5K AUD (stage) and 1.9K AUD (front row).

Billboard interviewed the first 7 of the top 14 contestants advancing on Idol (the next 7 will come later). As always they asked who their favorite Idols were. Most listed 3 or 4. Two of the 7 listed Adam as one of their favorites. I was not surprised that Uche listed Adam as one of his favorites. I was pleasantly surprised that Laine Hardy (18 year old guitar playing contestant from Louisiana and one of the judges favorites) also listed Adam as one of his favorite Idols. Tho, maybe not so surprising cause he listed Elvis and Hendrix as influences. The good thing about this kid is that he performs and moves some on the stage and doesn't just stand there with the guitar, like so many do on Idol, lol. Will be interesting to see if any of the remaining 7 name check Adam. wgno.com/2019/04/08/louisianas-laine-hardy-now-in-top-14-on-american-idol/Here's Part 2. Three more list Adam.....Wade the big, rocker dude, Jeremiah (gay pastor's son) and Alyssa. www.billboard.com/articles/news/8506364/american-idol-2019-contestants-interviews

I wouldn’t pay that much for a pic with that hair (ETA I wouldn’t pay that much for a pic at all, I’m too cheap and have other bills to pay. But especially not with that hair!)

So the Photo Op can be added to a floor seat as well. That's still a very pricey upgrade. If I remember correctly, we bought our TOH tickets/seats in OZ and then added a M&G upgrade for an add'l charge. That must be the way Dainty does it in OZ. d35kvm5iuwjt9t.cloudfront.net/pdf/QUEENVIP20_VIP.pdf

Seems Adam was picked as one of the contestant favorites more than any of the male Idol winners.
