I think he means without the practice of overbooking tickets would cost more.. They do it to prevent sending half full planes (by sending less planes overbooked) and offer some sort of compensation they don't believe will be redeemed.
If they flew more planes (not full) overall they would need to raise ticket prices to cover their added expenses..
