McNeil and the Ticket King

McNeil and Ford spend a lot of time talking about tickets to concerts and games. In a recorded conversation, we hear McNeil call up Ford and ask if could get tickets to an event.

Scholl asks if McNeil often asked Ford for free tickets. McNeil sidesteps the answer and responds with:

"I did not ask him, but when he made the offer that he could obtain tickets, I took him up on it," says McNeil. "...he got the tickets all by himself."

McNeil says going to concerts was an opportunity to spend time to him.

According to McNeil, the two went to Tigers games and an Usher concert.

"I did go to Usher concert," says McNeil. "There were several young ladies, Mr. Ford and one of his family members, I believe."

After the alleged threats at the Peabody, the two of them attended a Miami heat game together. The conversation during the game was not recorded. McNeil says he did not bring a date, but a girl met him later on that evening.
