Well that was suggested as the reason in the North West RUS as why many station's actual passenger figures are a lot higher than what is statistically recorded.
There are posters at stations saying that if the ticket office if open you can't buy cheap day returns or savers or obtain railcard discounts if purchasing a ticket on the train. However, that obviously has no effect on a lot of passengers who travel before 9:30.
It also could be because some people are lazy and enter a station from the other side to where the ticket office is located and can't be bothered to go across to the ticket office.
