You can buy it from driver, but I don't think buses accept credit 
cards (maybe I'm wrong), so you'll have to have some
euros by yourself. On TXL airport, just before you exit to the 
bus station there is a BVG (public transport) kiosk (see 
http://nanoparticles.org/Particles2011/TXL.gif) where you can buy 
tickets.

If you're adventurous, when you get out from the airport (from 
terminal A) to the bus stations, the bus stops are just in front 
of you and if you turn right you'll find ticket machines (looks 
like this 
https://www.bvg.de/en/Tickets/Other-ways-to-buy/At-ticket-machines) located by the wall. You can switch to English and they accept credit cards.

I'm not aware of all options, but you can buy single ticket for 
2.70 euro (I think?), 4 tickets for 9 euros, or you can buy 
weekly ticket (de. 7-Tage-Karte) and it costs 30EUR. If you're 
landing on TXL you'll just need AB zone.

Btw, single ticket is valid for your entire journey, (both Bus 
109 and U7) and if you're not buying it from driver, you need to 
validate it when you enter the bus (just stick it into the 
stamping machine).

I hope I didn't get anything wrong!
