Tickets for the 2029 U.S. Open will likely go on sale around the time of, or shorly after, the playing of the 2028 tournament. When ticket information becomes available, it will be posted on usga.org (look for the "Tickets" section of that website).
Golfers get into the field through various qualifying criteria known as exemption categories. What the "exemption categories" exempt a golfer from is having to play his way in through 36-hole qualifying events. The USGA stages those qualifiers around the world in April-May.
The player groupings and tee times for the 2029 U.S. Open will be determined by the USGA. The USGA typically announces those pairings during the week of the tournament, usually on the Tuesday preceding the tournament's Thursday start.
