English term or phrase: selling tickets to small houses
BEST BOX OFFICE DRAW - Based on drawing big houses (or for that matter selling tickets to small houses as the case may be), buy rates and/or television ratings. Rating work shouldn't even be considered. Last year's top three were John Cena, Chuck Liddell and Mistico.

Thank you!

Explanation:
This is how I understand the phrase. Instead of sports stadiums with 70,000 seats, smaller arenas with say 500 seats.
