I didn't know that there was a law about it. But you'd have to be a lawyer to know it, and even then most people wouldn't care and it would be impractical to enforce.

I am allowed to use 2 FOR 1 attraction tickets if I present my train ticket. I checked to see what tickets are valid, but it was unclear to me. I will be making my return journey the day after my outward journey using advance tickets. The 2 FOR 1 website says if you are returning a different...
