Biden, a Democrat from Delaware, is a 30-year veteran of the U.S. Senate and was picked recently as running mate for presidential hopeful Barack Obama.
Doors open for the Sept. 7 event at 12:30 p.m., and Biden takes the stage at 2:30.
Tickets are available beginning at 9 a.m. Saturday at Obama's Kalispell campaign office (224 First Ave. E.), Whitefish campaign office (643 Denver St.) and Pablo campaign office (51356 Highway 93 - next to Joe's Jiffy Stop). All three offices will remain open until 9 p.m.
Beginning at 10 a.m. Saturday, tickets will be available at the Bigfork campaign office (191 Jewel Basin Ct., Suite 3B). That office will close at 6 p.m.
If any tickets are left, the Kalispell office will distribute them from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sunday - just prior to the event.
Adults may pick up two tickets, and teens under 16 may pick up one, on a first-come, first-served basis.
For more information, contact:
The Kalispell office at (773) 459-7231, or e-mail droberts@montanaforchange .com;

Biden's visit is his first to Montana since being named Obama's running mate, but the presidential candidate himself has made five trips to Big Sky Country.
Most recently, Obama visited Billings at the end of August. His May trip to Montana's Crow Indian Reservation was the first of the political season into Indian Country. And his wife, Michelle Obama, visited Kalispell ahead of the June primary.
The 65-year-old Biden is expected to lead a conversation with Flathead voters about national issues, including foreign and domestic policy.
