Because Madrid are huge asshurt gots and they wouldn't let the Basques or especially the Catalans celebrate a Copa victory at the Santiago Bernabeu. Both Bilbao and Barcelona wrote a letter requesting / demanding Madrid that they be allowed to play the CdR final at the Bernabeu, but to no avail.
Other pitches in consideration were the Camp Nou, Mestalla, San Mames and the Pizjuan... Camp Nou won in the voting.
Ticket sales will be 50/50 so I wouldn't say Bilbao will get shafted...


And the Final of the Copa del Rey will be played... at the Camp Nou.*
