Just bought tickets on a major site for Harry Potter at the Lyric....Orch Row X seats 2 and 4....just now I see online that they are partial view seats...how bad is this? Can't return them as it doesn't say that on the tickets themselves...anyone sit here?

You might miss a LITTLE of a pretty cool effect at the end of Act I. But not all of it. (I was in row Y? or Z?) THis is due to the overhang of the mezz. Is it a big deal? I didn't think so.
As far as taken? I guess it depends on how much you paid vs how much you end up enjoying it!

I'm more worried about a column blocking the view

The view from Y 3, yours will be similar:

that's what I saw...was hoping someone with first hand knowledge might have some insights.

Where did you buy them? I could be wrong, but I think X 1-3/2-4 and Y 1-3/2-4 have been sold as partial view from the beginning, or at least for a while. If you bought them without that being noted anywhere, it might be possible to get a refund.

They now mark those seats as Partial view due to the finale of Part 1 that you miss a little of. The sequence is 30 seconds and you’ll get the gist of it.
Rear orchestra is still an awesome view of the show! If you decided to return your tickets you could spring for anywhere, there’s not a “bad” seat in the house, except the front boxes.
Enjoy!!"
Actually, that's not true. They're marked partial view because of the column. On Ticketmaster: "A column will be in peripheral sightline of the side of the stage."

I would call StubHub and explain the situation. It's unlikely that you'll get a refund, but, since they have great customer service, maybe they'll give you a credit.

I've been trying with stubhub...i've sold and bought a lot with them...so far they won't help because the tickets themselves say nothing.....I'm hoping they will step up and help a valued customer. I just feel bad as the tickets are for my wife and son while I take my daughter to dear evan hansen.....was hoping someone has sat there and can tell me what to expect...

Those seats are available on Ticketmaster on April 1, 2020 (69.50/part) and are listed as partial view with a column obstruction. Maybe try taking a screenshot to send to stub hub?

It's in the peripheral sightline? What does that even mean? The walls of the theater are within the peripheral sightlines, I wouldn't worry too much.
