If you have the entrance ticket of Tongli Town, you can take the bus for free. The bus departs every 30 minutes between 08:00 and 17:00. Or you can take bus 725 from the subway station, and get off at Shipailou Station. Walk for 200 meters (220 yards) northward and you can see the south entrance of the town.

No details on how to get the tickets.
Don't worry about it. They'll either sell you the ticket at the point of bus entry, or take you to the right spot. Chinese never pass up an opportunity to take a foreign tourist to a ticket booth and extract payment. In the unlikely event the tourist bus isn't free, it won't be more than a pittance. You can also take a taxi from Tongli station. Or you can just catch a direct tourist bus from Shanghai Stadium or Shanghai Hongkou station and dispense with transfers. Your local Shanghai hotel can call the day before, for the direct tourist bus times for your visit date.
