FANS of Sir Andy Murray were last night warned to snub greedy touts flogging tickets for his stage shows at up to 18 times their face value.
The tennis ace’s gigs — where he’ll share behind-the-scenes secrets and stories from his glittering career — sold out in minutes.

But the £35 briefs are now being peddled online for eye-watering sums.
Stalls tickets for his Edinburgh Playhouse gig on June 19 are being marketed for £652 on one site while balcony seats are offered for £357.
Briefs for his show at Glasgow’s SEC Armadillo on June 18 are between £475 and £284.
Promoters urged gig-goers not to buy from touts. ATG Tickets said: “Tickets can’t be sold for profit.
“Please don’t purchase from a secondary website.”
Former world No 1 Andy, 37, from Dunblane, Perthshire, called time on his on-court exploits last summer after a run to the Paris Olympics doubles quarter-finals with pal Dan Evans.
He has vowed to discuss “pretty much anything” in the Centre Stage shows hosted by BBC commentator Andrew Cotter, 51.
The run includes two dates in London.
Revealing the tour last November, Sir Andy said: “After I retired, I wanted to try some different things.
“I don’t think a tennis player has done anything like this before so it felt like a great challenge for me.
“I haven’t stepped on a tennis court for a long time, so hopefully my fans will enjoy seeing me in this new setting.”
Among his many career highs, Sir Andy claimed the 2012 US Open, 2013 and 2016 Wimbledon, and 2012 plus 2016 Olympics singles titles.
