Here is a useful table with conversion factors.

1 metric ton of LNG is roughly 1300 cubic meters of NG according to this table - but I've seen numbers closer to 1400. I believe it depends on the composition of the gas.

if you want to use methane as a proxy:
http://webbook.nist.gov/cgi/fluid.cgi?Action=Load&ID=C74828&Type=IsoTherm&Digits=5&PLow=.1&PHigh=10&PInc=.1&T=298.15&RefState=DEF&TUnit=K&PUnit=MPa&DUnit=kg%2Fm3&HUnit=kJ%2Fmol&WUnit=m%2Fs&VisUnit=uPa*s&STUnit=N%2Fm

or if that link is munged try
http://webbook.nist.gov/chemistry/fluid/
also has ethane, propane, butane,....

for methane at 25 C and 1 bar (~1 atm) there are 1542 m^3/tonne
