If you're a Broncos fan who decided to purchase season tickets for 2017, you better actually use those tickets or the team might take them away from you. 

The Broncos told the Denver Post this week that roughly 400 fans had their season tickets revoked this offseason because those fans decided not to attend a single game in 2016. The fans who had their season tickets taken away had mostly been selling them on the secondary market. 

Basically, the fans were punished for trying to profit off their season tickets. Apparently, the Broncos are single-handedly trying to end capitalism. 

Team spokesman Patrick Smyth told the Post that the Broncos have started "weeding out" fans who aren't using their tickets in an effort to put "more tickets in the hands of Denver Broncos fans."

The team has been tracking ticket sales on the secondary market, and they decided to punish any ticket holder who sold their tickets for all eight home games this past season. 

The Broncos have sold out every regular season game they've played in Denver for the past 47 years, which has led to sky-high prices on the secondary market. Fans hoping to profit on the high demand for Broncos tickets won't be able to now, thanks to the team's policy.  

Of course, you can't just revoke 400 season-ticket accounts and not expect some blowback, which is exactly what the Broncos have received. Several season-ticket holders are now upset with the team for not giving out any sort of warning before revoking their season ticket-accounts. 

One fan who had his season tickets revoked said he had lung-reduction surgery last year, which caused him to miss every game of the 2016 season. However, the Broncos didn't reinstate his tickets because they were quick to point out that he had sold all of his season tickets for every home game between 2013 and 2016. 

Although several season-ticket holders did have their accounts reinstated, most of them weren't so lucky. 

"Careful consideration was given to each inquiry, including a review of previous account activity and any documentation that may have been provided," Smyth told The Post.

Smyth added that the newly open seats will go to "reward our loyal season ticket holders, upgrade many of them, make tickets available on the waiting list and increase our very limited single-game ticket allotment."

The Broncos have a season-ticket waiting list that consists of more than 75,000 people.
