Oprah tickets are harder to score than this season's new Chanel handbag, but the daytime diva is shutting down Michigan Avenue to throw a huge, free block party on Sept. 8 to celebrate the start of her TV show's 24th season.

If you don't want to have to fight crazy book club members to get into the televised event, the Affinia Chicago offers you a strategy: stay at its nearby hotel to be close to the action and you'll get a room for $109 per night.

The hotel is offering the rate, available for booking on Affinia's website, on Sept. 7 and 8. The Oprah package also includes free breakfast and WiFi (that's what we're talking about). The Affinia is only several blocks from the event's entrance at Ohio Street and Michigan Avenue, so the best course of action is to reserve a room on Sept. 7 so you can get up super early to beat the insane crowds and get a spot near the front of the line. Plus, the hotel's proximity makes it a good place to rest your legs after the two-hour, standing-room-only taping.

If you decide to check into the Affinia on the day of the party, be aware that check-in time is 3 p.m., since you'll want to leave yourself plenty of time to get into the 5 p.m. taping. The entrance opens at noon.

Although it's unlikely you'll get a new car at the special taping, you'll see the Black Eyed Peas going boom-boom-pow on an outdoor stage and some surprise celeb guests. The Oprah Winfrey Show: Oprah's Season 24 Kickoff Party will air Sept. 10.
