Even an award ticket?
I read too quickly, missed the award part.
In any event, the same logic would work for an award ticket, though admittedly I'd imagine its rarer.
E.g. if a flight has a 100 seats, and 100 seats are sold, odds dictate someone (or someones) will not show up. Being able to remove some miles from their balance sheet by way of booking someone in Y on an award serves the same purpose.
