Hot Tickets: Mikhail Baryshnikov caused what ticket agents called a “minor riot” in Cape Town, South Africa, when scuffles broke out among about 10,000 ballet fans seeking fewer than 3,000 tickets available for the dancer’s scheduled July 20 performance in the city. The fighting occurred Wednesday at several Computicket agency outlets, where the tickets sold out in seven minutes. Tickets for two performances in Pretoria sold out in about six minutes.
