Supporters' trust chair Phil Sumbler said the club was right to warn those who might be prepared to cash in.
He said that in addition to the illegality, anyone who sold a ticket in the way suggested was either ripping off a fellow Swansea fan or selling to a non-Swansea fan, which could "lead to all sorts of problems".
He added: "Leigh's warning is absolutely right. I still can't believe people would pay £1,000 to watch football irrespective of how important Sir Alex Ferguson's contribution has been.
'Momentous occasion'
"We will want to pay respect to his achievements but come one minute past four, we will want to see a Swansea victory."
A spokesman for Swansea City FC said: "Re-sale of football tickets is illegal, unless authorised by the club. Anyone found reselling tickets will be dealt with accordingly."
