Secondary ticketers Viagogo have been comparing the face value of tickets with what people were willing to pay for them on their auction website - and have released a list of the highest value tours (ie the ones where secondary ticket buyers were willing to pay a lot more than face value) and the most overvalued tours (where secondary ticket buyers weren't willing to pay face value).
