There's salt in the wound for Christchurch Blink-182 fans after bassist Mark Hoppus was filmed ripping on the city.

It comes after the band announced they were cancelling their Christchurch show, just two weeks ahead of the event taking place.

Consumer NZ Communications and Campaigns Manager Jessica Walker says the band's actions have encouraged fans to seek extra compensation beyond tickets.

"It's worth seeing if you can get your money back under the Consumer Guarantees Act, or maybe even the Fair Trading Act- that's where we've landed with this."
