Fans hoping to attend Andy Murray's upcoming theatre tour have been urged to avoid buying tickets from resellers attempting to flog them for exorbitant fees. The legendary Scot will headline four UK venues with his Centre Stage show in June. He is expected to reveal some of the secrets of his career and tell stories which have never seen the light of day.

Murray will begin his tour in Glasgow on June 18 before moving to Edinburgh the following night. He will appear at the Eventim Apollo in London on June 21, with his final show taking place at the New Wimbledon Theatre on June 29. Tickets for all four shows were snapped up in minutes but some are now being peddled online by resellers looking for a quick profit.

One website lists a pair of stall tickets for his Edinburgh show at £652, with balcony seats at £357. Two tickets for the Glasgow event are listed for sale at £284, while fans hoping to attend the Wimbledon show would have to fork out £327 for resale tickets.

ATG Tickets, the company promoting Murray's tour, has urged people not to pay over the odds considering tickets were originally sold for just £35. They said: "Tickets can’t be sold for profit. Please don’t purchase from a secondary website."

At the shows, Murray will be joined by BBC commentator Andrew Cotter to reminisce about his illustrious career. They will provide 'new anecdotes and the innermost details' to an intimate audience who will be banned from accessing their phones.

Announcing the theatre tour back in November, Murray said: "After this summer, 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."

Murray has kept himself busy since retiring from tennis last summer, having joined Novak Djokovic's coaching team. He was in attendance for the Serb's defeat to Jakub Mensik in the Miami Open final on Sunday night.

Earlier in the tournament, he got the chance to meet Lionel Messi following Djokovic's victory over Grigor Dimitrov in the semi-finals. They posed for a picture together, which Murray posted on his Instagram profile alongside a hilarious caption.

The two-time Wimbledon champion wrote: "I asked him if he could do it on a cold, rainy night in Stoke. He responded 'callate la boca' which I think means 'yes' in Spanish." In reality, the phrase translates to 'shut up' or 'shut your mouth'.
